[00:00] where am i :O [00:00] kisu: the technical support channel for Ubuntu Linux [00:00] i wish someone would upgrade epsxe to the new gtk library [00:00] dtcrshr: Pastebin the output of this command: lsb_release [00:01] You can tell the update-manager to only show you LTS releases, ev_ [00:01] dtcummin: Pastebin the output of this command: lsb_release [00:01] Mmm, gurl. [00:01] It works. [00:01] :D [00:01] billy_: Tor work with games? [00:01] BorgTK2001, ok, i will look into that [00:02] ev_, 8.04 hit end of life on the 12th of this month. There were some significant changes from 8.04 to 10.04 grub-legacy to grub2 and ext3 to ext4 among a few, you might consider a backup and a fresh install. [00:02] Can anyone other pastebin also their lsb_release output (if it is different from: No LSB modules are available. string only)? Thank you. [00:02] adrian15: try lsb_release -a [00:02] adrian15, http://paste.ubuntu.com/613956/ [00:03] nit-wit, thats what i want to do, my 10 live cd wont load(burnt 3) but 8 boots right up, just want to make sure the upgrade is to 10.04 or 10.10, not 11 [00:03] dtcummin: Please also pastebin the "lsb_release -a" output. [00:03] Anyone here willing to help me repair a No Sound situation? [00:03] it would beslow to use tor for gaming [00:03] adrian15, it's the same [00:03] No LSB modules are available [00:03] dtcummin: Ok. We are going. [00:04] dtcummin: One minute. [00:04] ev_ you have a USB stick? USB installs are pretty swift [00:04] ev_, so the original disc was burned as an image at the slowest speed and you checked the md5sum, these are all variables with that 10.04 iso and cd burned. [00:05] How can I make "Guest Session" an option when my screen is locked? [00:05] dtcummin: Please backup /usr/bin/lsb_release because we are going to edit it. === michiel_ is now known as Guest9888 [00:06] adrian15, ok [00:06] SUCCESS~ [00:06] THanks guys for the help. [00:06] I'm outty. [00:06] Peace. [00:07] i can't mount my ntfs drive via nfs now that i've upgraded to natty. [00:07] ev_, here is a link for checking the disc. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [00:07] BorgTK2001, this laptop has been quite finiky, i have tried all avenues and the ubuntu 8.04 live cd i burnt work just fine, had problems with 10.04 live cd's and usb sticks, two differnt programs to make the bootable usb [00:07] hi! [00:07] nit-wit, yes the cd was burned slow and md5 sum checks out [00:08] I have a videoproblem, my videocard does not work with kubuntu 11.04, I need to drop to a shell and change some drivers, however, the grub loader in kubuntu 11.04 does not show the "escape" option with which it is possible to go to a textboot! [00:08] dtcummin: Line 64. verinfo = lsb_release.check_modules_installed() it should read: #verinfo = lsb_release.check_modules_installed() . Save it. Edit it as root user. [00:08] how can I overcome this [00:08] wohnpal: I think you should use shift key instead of esc key. [00:09] let me try that [00:09] dtcummin: After that please run lsb_release again. [00:09] Some pdf that I open have really blurred fonts, making them impossible to read (using adobe reader) [00:09] ev_, the only time have seen a propmt for a password s with a bad burn, if you have a xtrta usb thumb you might try that with a loader called unetbootin. [00:09] hi [00:09] Bummer, ev_ :( [00:10] what can be the problem? [00:10] is my adobe reader missing fonts? [00:10] never used to have this problem [00:10] you were right!!!! thanks! [00:10] reinstall it [00:10] ev_, sorry for the spelling.;( [00:10] argh i was so happy with my nfs server until i upgraded to natty !! === MacGyverNL is now known as MacGyver2L [00:11] how do i see a windows pc on the network? tnks [00:11] adrian15, the output is the same [00:11] is there a specific python version that must be used? [00:11] hi dathern, when you say "see" a windows pc, do you mean for file sharing? [00:12] the pdf is not blurry in other readers [00:12] Ok, My Sony Bravia no longer is full screen mode with 11.04. The Ubuntu splash screen is! But after logon, it's 1024x768... HELP [00:12] only in adobe reader [00:12] nit-wit, have tried a sandisk and kingston [00:12] help. I have system sounds (glass,drip bark) but I dont hear webpage sounds? [00:12] file sharing ..yes [00:13] lisa_, system >preferences>monitors [00:13] It [00:13] nit-wit, i have a working version 8.04 cd, im going to install that to the hd and do what BorgTK2001 said about the update manager only showing LTS versions [00:13] dathern: the open source implementation of windows file sharing is called samba [00:13] dathern: try this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty#Samba_File_Sharing [00:13] It's shown as UNKNOWN when it used to show up as Sony [00:13] rio [00:14] dtcummin: Same output? [00:14] adrian15, yes, no change in the output [00:14] tnx ... will have a look. [00:14] my sound is off on web pages. still get system sounds. Help Ub10.04 [00:14] dumb question here: i'm running the new natty livecd and wanted to test Unity, but it seems to have started Gnome instead, am I missing something? [00:14] dtcummin: Can you check that you edited the file ok? Please close editor and open it again. Thank you. [00:14] ev_, sounds like good advice.;) [00:15] As for the person wanting Unity, you need to use the program called "additional drivers" to activate your graphics card. [00:15] No card, no Unity. [00:15] nit-wit, didnt know update manager had that option till i came here [00:15] What's the correct channel to ask questions regarding debian packaging? [00:15] Centallith: ah, I have a pretty nice vid card, but maybe its a driver problem? [00:16] thomi: Maybe ubuntu-dev or a similar name channel ? [00:16] Yeah. You need to search for additional drivers just to find it. I have Nvidia and I needed to use it before I could do Unity. [00:16] great, thanks! [00:16] ev_, the IIRC is a helpful place. [00:16] adrian15, http://paste.ubuntu.com/613961/ [00:16] hey ..that’s cool . takes you right to the web link. been awhile since i used irc. tnx. [00:16] nit-wit, indeed [00:17] tripelb, any other ideas? [00:18] dtcummin: Instead of the line we have just edited (just beginning in the same column) please write: verinfo = false . I am not expert at Python but I think it might work [00:18] adrian15, ok one sec [00:19] ev_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades :) [00:19] hola [00:19] hey [00:19] So, the logon screen for gdm is full screen on my Sony Bravia, but once you logon, it's 1024x768... [00:19] my sound is off! but system sounds works. no youtube sound. musicplayer sound works. (chrome) tedtalks silent OH NO closed musicplayer (doesnt show on top) but the SOUND continues. [00:19] Xubuntu 11.04 SUCKS [00:19] BorgTK2001, thanks [00:19] please help [00:19] adrian15, no change [00:19] jeñ [00:19] That is more detailed info than my one liner telling you update-manager has the function inbuilt ;) [00:19] help! [00:19] someone? [00:19] lisa_, e no idea what happened when you tried it. You want me to play, I need feedback. [00:20] i updated xubuntu to 11.04 and now is slow and sucks [00:20] I am having things installed in $HOME/bin/* and I want them to be included in the Dash and in the preferred applications list. How? [00:20] tripelb, The monitor shows UNKNOWN when I go to prefernces and monitors. It used to say Sony [00:20] For the sound, you should just check the built-in volume in Chrome from the wrench menu bar. [00:20] So, the logon screen for gdm is full screen on my Sony Bravia, but once you logon, it's 1024x768... [00:21] novoid, you wanna what [00:21] dtcummin: verinfo = 0 . This one should work I think [00:21] hi [00:21] lisa_, just to confirm, it used to work on Ubuntu before you went to 11.04? [00:21] Is there a way to tell what settings GDM is using? And copy that to my xorg.conf somehow? [00:22] !hello | mun_ [00:22] Then (windows logic -- I would reboot) OK it didnt load the Sony driver is what I would think. How to do that. -- My system has the driver of my video card, NVIDIA. what card is reported for it in lspci? (lspci | grep VGA) note caps [00:22] lisa_, Then (windows logic -- I would reboot) OK it didnt load the Sony driver is what I would think. How to do that. -- My system has the driver of my video card, NVIDIA. what card is reported for it in lspci? (lspci | grep VGA) note caps [00:22] i've changed the default for opening a directory from nautilus to thunar, but i typed something wrong when i first did it and xdg-open wouldn't open thunar but prompted me. i set it to thunar but now i want to change it back to nautilus. reverting defaults.list doesn't seem to help. does anyone know where the prompt made the change? [00:22] !hi | mun_ [00:23] bots broke [00:23] Hello I need help with an openssh related query is there anyone knowledgable in this specific area? [00:23] !ask | Psydoll [00:23] Psydoll: 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. :-) [00:23] just ask the question!! [00:23] lisa_, did you do "detect monitors" ? [00:24] oh ya maybe we took hi and hello out :0 [00:24] adrian15, ok the 0 didn't work but if I change #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python2.7 it will actually output http://paste.ubuntu.com/613963/ [00:24] Sorry basically I want to use Openssh to use an external hdd as a NAS (network attached storage) [00:25] tripelb, Yes, detect monitors says UNknown. [00:25] ubuntu 11.04 what the heck works great for me. ms7, vista and xp i'm running them all on different pc's . ms os's can be a challenge. [00:25] I have a question about Open Source softwre. If I was going to replace Windows XP with Ubuntu on all my School computers should I get a license prior to doing it? Or am I permitted to do it under the GPL? [00:25] dtcummin: What python version did you say that you had originally ? [00:26] help [00:26] dtcummin: In order to run the python interpreter you should write python or you need to write python2.7 ? [00:26] i have 2.7 and 3.2 [00:26] Centallith: permitted and recommended ;) [00:27] open a terminal and type python hit tabtwice to see what v ersions you have [00:27] adrian15, when you run python it actually uses 3.2 [00:27] centallith: you don't need a license.. there is even a OEM install option [00:27] But, Centallith, only if YOU are the IT manager making the decisions... [00:27] dtcummin: python 3.2 is an experimental version or something ? [00:27] adrian15, I don't think so [00:27] sound, fixed. killed shockwave/flash [00:27] I am. I figured my students would like 11.04's futuristic look. And I like the security / reliability of it. So everyone wins. [00:27] Hello still needing help with openssh related query [00:28] win-win, and it'll only 'cost' you your time and a few blank CD's ;) [00:28] !please | Psydoll [00:28] Psydoll: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [00:28] dtcummin: Ok. Please recover lsb_release backup. [00:28] And, Centallith, there is even a network instal feature available [00:28] dtcummin: Restore, I mean. [00:28] instal = install [00:28] adrian15, ok [00:29] I will be installing it one by one on all 50 computers. It is the style I am most comfortable with. My plan is also to outfit them with nice Themes and Docky. It's what I do. [00:29] dtcummin: After that I recommend you to ls -l /usr/bin/python it should be a symlink to python3.2 isn't it? We need to convert it into a python2.7 symlink? Do you know how to do that ? === olskolirc is now known as irssitester [00:29] Hi. I want to rip a DVD to AVI. What are my options? [00:29] Centallith, wouldn't imaging or netinstall be a lot faster? [00:29] Centallith, yep - whichever way you are comfortable with :) [00:29] Running 11.04 [00:30] adrian15, [00:30] ya, I'm trying that now [00:30] Perhaps (if the students are of age) they can look over your shoulders for a few of the installs? [00:30] Probably. But I like having total control over what is happening on the Computers. Which is why I started using Linux in the first place. [00:30] Do I have to be connected to the Internet to use ssh? Cant i just connect via wireless card? [00:30] dtcummin: I am using Debian unstable and it is using python 2.6 so ... python 3.2 might be a major release of python with too way changes that lsb_release packages (and maybe other packages) might not be updated to deal with. [00:31] Centallith, a netinstall would give you as much control as a physical installation. However, it's what you prefer. May I wish you the best of luck! :) [00:31] now I have the next problem... I have a nvidia geforece 240 card, it gives garbled video ever since 10.04, so I deleted the nouveau xorg driver and installed nvidia drivers using the text mode... now kde starts and video is ok, howerver, all the fonts are gigantic!!!! even the login screen has gigantic fonts... [00:31] connect to other machine via wireless cards that is [00:31] It is a 4-8th grade school. I doubt many would be too interested. [00:31] Centallith, install ssh server on all the computers you install. That way, you can administer all 50 remotely [00:31] i can't mount my ntfs drive via nfs now that i've upgraded to natty. [00:31] adrian15, I wouldn't think the syntax of a language would change across versions [00:31] teage: If you can see the other machine in your network. You should use ssh with no problem. [00:32] Something like VNC, smw? [00:32] how can I find out which package in the repository depends on postfix? [00:32] adrian15, is there a way to communicate with no internet connection? [00:32] dtcummin, the syntax wouldn't change, but some of the functions could change, such as variables, thereby breaking older programs. Might i also suggest update-alternatives to switch to other versions? [00:32] BorgTK2001, not exactly... It only allows command line access. But you can push one command to 50 computers [00:33] teage, The United States Postal Service [00:33] BorgTK2001, for example. "I just realized that every computer in this school needs gimp installed" [00:33] i was so excited about nfs :( [00:33] Q - Bash scripting, is there a way I can call a function that runs everything in background? I know I could write a separate bash script and call it with &, but wondering if there is another way. Basically I have an analytics call to make when certian functions are called [00:33] can't use it now, its a real shame [00:33] Centallith, hahaha too funny. Im just trying to connect to my living room machine which is not connected to the net. [00:33] Ahhh, now that is a good feature, smw - I would not like to type that command in multiple times [00:34] teage, what you are describing can be done, yes [00:34] Yeah, you can set up Network communications. I thought that Empathy had a built in option for that. [00:34] Hi. I want to rip a DVD to AVI. What are my options? Running 11.04 [00:34] s3r3n1t7: Can you please ellaborate on update-alternatives? Does it mean that the packaging system knows that python2.7 is the default python and not python3.2? [00:34] plop all [00:34] Centallith, what? [00:34] ffmpeg, g[r]eek [00:35] and de-CSS [00:35] adrian15, update-alternatives should be able to switch between different version, most frequently used to switch between versions of java. If memory serves me well, it also works for python. [00:35] Download and run the Dvdvideosoft suite. Has all the tools that you should need. You need Wine and the .Net Framework. [00:35] teage: Yes. I use ssh to communicate with my other machines in my lan. [00:35] I'm sure there are linux native solutions, Centallith ;) [00:36] hiexpo: I have iron (chromium-fork) in ~/bin/iron. I want to choose it as my default browser. And I want Ubuntu to find things in ~/bin/* in order to start them. [00:36] BorgTK2001, I've read about k9copy and handbrake on ubuntu guide, but when i try install k9copy it gives me an error about not finding the right packages [00:36] True, but the suite offers a huge arsenal of all the tools you need for video downloading or editing. I've used it a long time. If you want a Linux-built one search google. I have no ideas. [00:36] s3r3n1t7: Ok. My suspicition is that update-alternatives might depend on package dependencies system so I'll advise dtcummin to run it after the symlink change. [00:36] i can't mount my ntfs drive via nfs now that i've upgraded to natty. [00:36] g[r]eek: dvdrip [00:36] You need the medibuntu repos enabled [00:36] and g-streamer [00:37] dtcummin: Any progress? [00:37] novoid: your system should pick up any executable in a home bin dir automatically, but you will have to have a link to the exectuable in that dir [00:37] adrian15, Update-alternatives changes the symlinks to for example python and java, saving you from having to do that by hand. [00:37] teage: You are connecting from A machine to B machine. Does B machine have an ssh server running on it? [00:38] adrian15,,,sorry, was googleing,,,I tried to start a new network from network manager and i am not having any luck. How do you have your lan setup? [00:38] teage: Don't you have a router with dhcp ? [00:38] novoid, ie, if your program starts up by ~/bin/iron/iron.sh, make a symlink to iron.sh in ~/bin [00:38] PalinBachman2012: oh. why can't I start iron or select it as my default browser? [00:38] adrian15 : yes it does [00:38] PalinBachman2012: I see. [00:39] adrian15, ya, that seems to have been the problem [00:39] I acually have two wifi cards [00:39] PalinBachman2012: Shouldn't it be better /usr/local/bin instead? [00:39] teage: You do have the network manager... [00:39] adrian15 : no router [00:39] PalinBachman2012: you again; novoid: you should add ~/bin/ to your path, then just run iron/iron (not much of a hassle, unless the same program is in /bin) [00:40] teage - how are you using the internet when you are telling us you don't have the internet? [00:40] adrian15 : Just wifi cards. lappy connects via ethernet [00:40] teage: In network manager you should be able to create a wireless network in one of the computers. [00:41] mahir256: ~/bin/ is in my zsh (my preferred interactive shell) path. Is Ubuntu using another path definition? bash? [00:41] teage: I do not understand your network setup. Can you ellaborate on that? [00:41] router = adslmodem, teage [00:41] I am looking to customize the look of my desktop. I have a heavily themed appearance, so I am mainly looking for programs. Aside from Docky, Conky, and screenlets, what could you recommend? [00:41] novoid: the included bashrc or whatever in ubuntu already includes ~/bin in your path, idk about zsh tho [00:42] ( I am NOT looking to run Rainmeter through Wine) [00:42] Is there a way to hide the process id from terminal when launching something in background with 'functionCall &' [00:42] adrian15 : Yes, my lappy is in the kitchen connected via ethernet, Desktop in the living room with a wifi card usb connected and im trying to connect to it to transfer files [00:42] LOL, Centallith RE: Rainmeter ;) [00:42] novoid: try using bash [00:42] novoid: as far as those programs ending up in dash, is beyond me, however, you can select your browser manually thru 'Preferred Applications' [00:42] PalinBachman2012: I have to check wether I did overwrite standard .bashrc when moving my old ~HOME to the new Ubuntu-system ... [00:43] YOUR laptop has wifi, teage? [00:43] could someone convert this pdf to text for me? http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.35.8620&rep=rep1&type=pdf [00:43] PalinBachman2012: iron is not yet in Dash. But I'll check my bash-settings. Good point! [00:43] teage: Lappy connects via ethernet to ROUTERA. And Desktop connects to ROUTERA too. Is that your setup ? [00:43] I want to know if its just me, or that the pdf is crap and the text is all messed up [00:44] adrian15 : both have 10,04 installed, BorgTK2001, yes I want to use both wiif cards to communicate [00:44] novoid: i am wrong, there is no more manual selection in Preferred Applications === mikey is now known as TheGame [00:44] Desktop connects to nothing, adrian15 - that is how teage is describing it [00:44] Which is strange [00:44] OKies: I assume you have ADSL teage? [00:44] BorgTK2001-adrian15 that is correct [00:44] I want to get windows back onto my laptop and don't know how since I don't have a disk, only the product key....? === reliableNerd is now known as reliableNrd|away [00:45] BorgTK2001-yes i do [00:45] !windows | TheGame [00:45] TheGame: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [00:45] teage: Lappy has a ethernet cable device and a wifi device. You want Lappy wifi device to communicate with Desktop wifi device without any ROUTERA intervention at all. Is it that ? [00:46] Alexanderos: doing [00:46] PalinBachman2012: so if I install a browser via tarball, I am not able to select it in Preferred Apps? [00:46] SO, teage, what you want is: your ADSL router connects to your laptop via eithernet, and your laptop has Wifi capability, and your desktop has a wificard to... === co-ax_ is now known as Clicker [00:46] adrian15 yes, would adhoc work? [00:46] And what you want, teage, is to connect your desktop to your laptop wirelessly to share files and the internet [00:47] BorgTK2001, dont care about internet on my desktop just want to transfer files [00:47] teage: You can create a new wireless network on Desktop. Network icon -> Create a new wireless network [00:47] novoid: not directly from the Preferred apps gui, seemingly, but you probably have to edit gconf or some config file === Clicker is now known as clickmaker [00:47] adrian15, tried that but maybe i did something wrong. will try again [00:47] i know i used to be able to manually tho [00:48] PalinBachman2012: Oh, thanks. (I'm completely new to Ubuntu/Gnome and have to get used to those new files *g*) [00:48] teage: Did you try to connect from Lappy to that new wireless network? [00:48] im sure im just mad now about this bug.. but i feel very disappointed with natty at the moment. [00:49] Alexanderos: http://www.mediafire.com/?holw78yflwq9ns8 [00:49] novoid: when you install thru apt-get, the deb notifies the system that a potential browser/email client, etc is present and so it shows up in the drop down list [00:49] Logan_ how you do this? [00:49] what she different between evaluate the limit [00:49] It looks really good and nice.. [00:50] and find the limit? [00:50] When I do it it comes out totally unreadable [00:50] quint, what error are you talking about? [00:50] Alexanderos: did you use the pdftotext command? [00:50] adrian15, no i didnt, and yes that worked. adhoc network. thank you for barring with me. ;) [00:50] re [00:50] pdftotext [00:50] yes [00:50] PalinBachman2012: This I know. But unfortunately my browser is not available in a deb package. It't [00:50] PalinBachman2012: It's tarball only :-( [00:50] Alexanderos: hm [00:51] Grub2 is not detecting the Windows 7 partition, but I can mount it and browse it just fine from Ubuntu. I tried grub-repair which allowed me to boot into Ubuntu again. Any idea what I need to do next? [00:51] compile it [00:51] Something is wrong with my computer then [00:51] PalinBachman2012: Where can I locate gconf settings file? [00:51] Alexanderos: I just did pdftotext [00:51] now that i've updated to natty i can't mount a directory on an NTFS drive via NFS [00:51] Alexanderos: are you running natty? [00:51] Yes I did same :< [00:51] No [00:51] Don't think so [00:51] Oh... Then I can't help you quint. [00:51] bummmar! [00:51] Astronout: What is grub-repair, a new command, a new tool, Ubuntu live cd rescue option ? [00:51] Alexanderos: okay, I am - the poppler-utils package may be newer for natty [00:51] thanks though [00:52] Alexanderos: unless you just haven't updated your packages recently, in which case I would using Update Manager [00:52] I just installed 11.04-amd64, but I need to run 32-bit java inside Google Chrome. I installed the ia32-java* packages, but Google Chrome still wants to use the 64-bit plugin. Does anyone know a way to force it to use the 32-bit java plugin? [00:52] Is there a way to hide the process id from terminal when launching something in background with 'functionCall &' [00:52] Alexanderos: Have you tried to run: sudo update-grub ? [00:53] novoid: you need gconf-editor [00:53] PalinBachman2012: I found ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/browser/gconf.xml - Am I supposed to modify this during a logged in session or do I have to do this without being logged in? [00:53] will try, I'm a bit slow, I'm at another PC right now [00:53] kwvarga: Have you tried 2> /dev/null or similars ? [00:53] steve1: why not run 64bit java?

Did not knew that too :-( [00:55] steve1: you can install 32bit browser, then grab the 32bit java .bin file from java.com and extract it in /opt then symlink the .so file into the plugins folder [00:56] steve1: i'd grab the 32bit ubuntu ISO and use a chroot ;) [00:56] ActionParsnip: ah, so you think java-32 is failing b/c Google Chrome is 64? [00:57] novoid: gconf-editor - the regedit of Gnome. :D [00:58] adrian15 when I do 'functionCal &' it works but still has output and the [1+] Done later. When I do 'functionCall &> /dev/null' it does not launch in background and takes a while before it allows next command to run [00:58] PalinBachman2012: whenever I exchange "firefox" in gconf-editor with either "iron" or the full path to iron-binary, it gets replaced by firefox again and does start URLs in firefox too. :-( [00:59] rationalOgre: the windows registry has too much than what gconf was for [00:59] I'm trying to run a custom program that was working fine on 10.10. For some reason I now get this error: ./GetNormals: error while loading shared libraries: libmpich.so.1.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Why don't you just run 32bit OS as it suits your needs better? [01:00] mrproper: you may need the xorg edgers update ppa, intel make great linux drivers [01:01] mrproper, lshw [01:01] I'm trying to understand how a program searches for the shared libraries it needs [01:01] ActionParsnip, What are the package names for that?

Trust me :-) [01:09] woodworks: Xubuntu is very bloated - it probably won't help - Lubuntu is one of the lightest Ubuntu distros, though [01:09] PalinBachman2012, oh the way i understood it he wanted help with installing that browser [01:09] he prob doesn't want to be datamined, tracked, and turned over to the NSA [01:09] a worthy goal [01:10] woodworks, install the package lubuntu-desktop and choose at login window [01:10] novoid: Chromium, not Chrome - Chromium doesn't track, I think [01:10] woodworks: have tou tried crunchbang?

Version 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 27828 kB, installed size 81488 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) [02:01] Osmodivs: there is also a PPA with the beta 275 driver [02:02] bazhang, i can't believe it that guy or girl whatever cussed me out in aircrack lol > thanks lol > the bad part was i gave him the link to my aircrack-ng book [02:02] ActionParsnip: hi [02:03] hello ubuntu users? [02:04] ActionParsnip, Do you know how to stop Graphical mode in Ubuntu 11.04? [02:04] AlanG2: Hello === Random833 is now known as Random832 [02:04] :) [02:04] Osmodivs: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root [02:04] kaushal: howdy [02:04] AlanBell, hello to YOU.;) [02:04] ActionParsnip, I have tried that, is not working [02:04] Osmodivs: or add the boot option: single [02:05] Hey guys I have a script that when i run it manually from the terminal it detects that the program its checking to make sure is running is sactually running works. When i run it through crontab it doesnt detect that the program is running. any ideas? [02:05] AlanG2, hello to YOU.;) close [02:05] Osmodivs: so why are you not using the packaged version exactly? [02:05] shoould i bookmark this page for help in the future? [02:05] Does anyone have any idea why my DVD drive will mount DVD-Rs but not DVD-ROMs? On 10.04 [02:05] ActionParsnip, All I get is some debug info, or something like that, I can't even switch to other tty [02:05] ActionParsnip, Because Luxrender told me so [02:05] Osmodivs: is that it? [02:06] Doonz: if you cron it as root, does it work? [02:06] Doonz, does it need to be run in root? [02:06] i dont run it as root in terminal [02:06] let me try that tho [02:06] Doonz: i see [02:06] Doonz: worth a try ;) [02:06] ActionParsnip, Well, they need to have the latest drivers so Luxrender can work Flawlessly [02:06] Doonz, just wondering, that's all. [02:06] I have a problem that requires me to type modprobe -r at1lc, However the command must be given before the system starts (or I need to have an Ethernet cable plugged into start). Can anyone tell me, can I at that command to rc-update and have it run at start, or will I need to do something different? Details here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/159277 [02:07] * Doonz waits for the cronjob to run [02:07] could u give me another channel where it's not to techie [02:08] Osmodivs: the site has 270.41.19 Certified which is a tiny difference [02:08] AlanG2, #ubuntu-beginners [02:09] Keegers: Why not just blacklist at1lc? [02:09] It doesnt work [02:09] rationalOgre: it doesnt work [02:10] ActionParsnip, So there is no way to turn off graphical mode, eh? [02:10] ActionParsnip: nit-wit nope running crontab as root didnt sork [02:10] rationalOgre: see comment #16] [02:10] in terminal i just type ./script.sh [02:10] Osmodivs: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates has the 270.41.19 if it really kills you to have the very newest [02:10] didn't work hehe place was shut for the night :) [02:10] Osmodivs: add the boot option: text [02:11] Osmodivs: i've use the root recovery mode to install it in the past, you need to run a command after getting there so the driver can install but it tells you what to do [02:11] Hello ActionParsnip! I have been working with you all day. Sorry to be a pest. [02:11] omg i t looks like i will use transmission to torrent e books on ubuntu! [02:11] On 10.04 I can play DVD-Rs and CDs but not DVD-ROMs. Can anyone point me in the right direction? [02:12] mcphail keeep windowsw hehe :) [02:13] has anybody played with the samba option with ubuntu 10.10 ? [02:13] Samba Server Configuration Tool 1.2.63 [02:13] I can't figure out where chm2pdf is saving files. Googling not helping and nor is reading the man [02:13] msg nit-wit no go on that xrandr [02:13] Please advise [02:13] vindice, Yahoo it [02:14] dr i canget to win7 but not the other way:( [02:14] vindice: did ou read the man page? [02:14] ActionParsnip: as I said, yes [02:15] win7 seeems coolwe in picking up yer network! [02:15] Dr_Zaxxon, that was a couple of days ago,are you saying it doesn't stay with a reboot? [02:15] Dr_Zaxxon: the config tool for me is smb.conf [02:15] actionparsnip..ill check it out thx [02:15] I have two respositories with different versions of firefox. apt-get install installs an older version of firefox instead of a newer version. Why, and how do I fix it? [02:16] where do i put tar files i dl [02:16] vindice: if you specify the output filename, it will be where you say# [02:16] vindice: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-chm-files-into-pdf-files-in-ubuntu.html [02:16] nit-wit it gave me a display mode not found, prolly cause when i remote in it only sees the default display [02:16] vindice: i don't even use the app and found that in 100 seconds... [02:16] so hence if i remote in @ 800x600 it only sees 800x600 [02:16] ActionParsnip: Right, but it's not the answer to my question [02:17] ActionParsnip: I've read that page [02:17] ill e in front of that machine tomorrow ill mess with it then [02:17] Dr_Zaxxon, I remember the remote ssh, would be nice if it did, if you can't configure that end. [02:17] ActionParsnip: you can either assume I'm a moron and waste your time acting on that assumption, or read what I've written [02:17] vindice: It will save the file wherever you specify the output directory and file to be [02:18] yeah i havet tried ssh, since thats one of the number 1 tools maybe i should be playing wif that [02:18] ActionParsnip: you don't know the answer, that's fine. It's kind of you to google for answers and report to me what you suspect I'm too lazy/stupid to have done myself [02:18] how many users in this channels please im on irssi and i can't see it [02:18] ActionParsnip: but it does default folders it saves to defined in a config file I can't find [02:18] mkanat, look in software sources and turn one off and run the update to see if that would be the one to leave off. Or tell us the repositories in question if you an. [02:19] irssetester: 1523 why does it matter? [02:19] bragging rights edbian ;-) [02:19] *can [02:19] vindice: What folder are you working in. It isn't dropping them there? [02:19] does anyone know how to setup a networked update server? if such a thing exists for ubuntu [02:19] edbian: nope [02:19] vindice: /usr/bin/chm2pdf [options] input_filename [output_filename] therefore if you run: chm2pdf somefile.chm ~/Desktop/result.pdf it will output the file to ~/Desktop/result.pdf as you defined ~/Desktop/result.pdf in the command, that is where is "saves the files" as you stated in your question... [02:19] vindice: What app are you we talking about? I just got here [02:19] i just try out the 11.04 version, is it only available in Server edition and Desktop edition? no more Netbook edition? [02:19] chm2pdf ? [02:20] edbian: some docs mention /usr/tmp/chm2pdf but that directory doesn't exist [02:20] CN_guy: yes no more [02:20] thank you for your help ActionParsnip I got it set up the way I need it. [02:20] CN_guy: That's correct. The interface is different now. Desktop edition can be used on laptops desktops or netbooks. (That's the idea anyway) [02:20] ActionParsnip: this is like flogging a dead horse. I get it, you can specify an output directory. But I'm the kind of anally retentive person who needs to know what it's done with every conversion so far [02:20] vindice: why use defaults if you can't find where it is spitting the files to when the command clearly shows you can indefinately specify where the resulting files go. [02:20] vindice: What about /tmp/chm2pdf ? [02:21] guys tnx this bookmarked! [02:21] also, i choose Chinese language during setup , but finally, the interface is still in English, what happened? [02:21] vindice: then you are wasting your time [02:21] ActionParsnip: you don't see the irony in that? [02:21] vindice: What commands did you run? chm2pdf somefile.chm result.pdf ? [02:21] vindice: none at all [02:21] nit-wit: How can I tell which package comes from which source? [02:22] nit-wit: I have too many sources to be able to debug them one by one. [02:22] vindice: you want to know where the files go, i told you that you can instruct the command where to put the files so you know as you tell it where they will go, you now know where they go [02:22] you guys all experienced in ubuntu? or Linux in general? [02:22] vindice: not simple enough? [02:22] AlanG2: Some both, some just Ubuntu [02:22] AlanG2: some neither :P [02:23] tnx emb [02:23] edbian: basically the same, but with various options including --book and --extract-only [02:23] hehe [02:23] vindice: Whoever wrote that app does not think like me. I would FULLY expect the files to have been dropped into the CWD. [02:23] ActionParsnip: and I've told you several times that I want to know where the files already created are, and preferably where the configuration file is. It uses at least one variable [02:24] vindice: then run: sudo find / -iname "*.pdf" and you will find them no doubt [02:24] ActionParsnip: I appreciate the initial attempt to help, but you're now wasting both mine and your time. [02:24] guys really want to have crack at ubunti tnx :) [02:24] i removed the Desktop folder and now all my floders are on may destop and if i remove then they are actually removed, wtf ? [02:24] i don't want them on the desktop [02:25] vindice: The find command is a great idea. What did you name them? [02:25] mkanat, your source is probably mozila daily build or the stablbe ppa both are ppa's [02:25] *stable [02:25] want to peogramme it to stop my phone rining lol! [02:25] edbian: This is a huge partition. I'll do a find, but I'd really like to know where the config file would be. I can't find anything in /etc [02:26] AlanG2: use the button on it marked 'power' ;) [02:26] vindice: I'm researching [02:26] action..lol! [02:26] vindice: Look for a .chm2pdf in your home [02:27] nit-wit: I'm pretty experienced with Linux. Could you perhaps simply explain to me what in .deb packages or apt would cause it to pick an older version over a newer one? [02:27] edbian: It's hidden!? [02:27] nit-wit: If I know that, I can debug it myself. [02:27] edbian: the variable, I assume it's a variable, I've seen mentioned on various sites is: CHM2PDF_TEMP_ORIG_DIR [02:27] vindice: ? perhaps. Lots of apps have .appName folders [02:27] vindice: Environment variables? [02:27] ActionParsnip, I decided to try ndiswrapper (with some drivers that worked with puppy linux) [02:28] vindice: If that is a bash env. variable do you know how to read it [02:28] ? [02:28] I have a bash script I want to run when the computer starts. How would I accomplish such a task in Ubuntu [02:28] ActionParsnip, I get "driver installed, hardware present" so I depmod -a and modprobe ndiswrapper. No errors so far [02:28] ActionParsnip, but I still don't have a wlan0 interface [02:28] Keegers_Shyia: update-rc.d :) [02:28] edbian: you can just echo it right? [02:28] any idea where I'm going wrong? [02:28] mkanat, I'm assuming you have added a PPA the mozilla daily build and the firefox stable would be the culprits. I'm not questioning your ability. You need to share more info what have you done to set this up? [02:28] vindice: Yeah. echo $VAR_NAME [02:28] edbian: I thought environment variables were preceeded by $? [02:29] yes [02:29] Thanks edbian [02:29] Keegers_Shyia: Sure [02:29] nit-wit: I'm on Lucid and I've added mozillateam/firefox-stable. [02:29] may i change the name "home folder" in the places menu ? [02:29] nit-wit: I'd like to install firefox 4 but I get firefox 3.6 when I "apt-get install firefox". [02:29] mkaay, intick t that is one that is not usable if you want the latest FF4 [02:30] no one has set up a networked update server for ubuntu? [02:30] *untick [02:30] edbian: Can I see the status after its added as well? [02:30] nit-wit: It has Firefox 4 in it. [02:30] mkanat, just add the mozilla ppa [02:30] Keegers_Shyia: See that status? What do you mean? [02:30] nit-wit: I can see the package there if I go to the repo in my web browser. [02:30] Keegers: you still there? [02:30] forgive me...i use ubuntu like i use windows7 but i forgot to use win7 ???????""""" [02:31] mkanat, do you have the mozilla daily? [02:31] nit-wit: I do not. [02:31] edbian: For example, in Gentoo you say rc-update default. Then you can run rc-status and it returns all the jobs that the rc command controls and their level of execution [02:31] mkanat, have you turned off the stable and run a update to confirm that the stable is still the FF4 [02:31] AlanG2: I don't follow... [02:31] edbian: looks like it's not an environment var. This is prob not worth wasting any more of your time on but thanks for helping. Unless there's somewhere for storing app config files except /etc, I'll move on [02:32] Keegers_Shyia: Ah-Ha! I have no idea if there is an rc-status. If you find one let me know :) [02:32] i think it it something to gringing my teethlol! [02:32] nit-wit: I'm not sure what you're asking. [02:32] Keegers_Shyia: You the same as just Keegers? [02:32] vindice: /home/vindice/.appName is a common place for personal settings for apps [02:32] vindice: /tmp would make sense [02:32] rationalOgre: Yeah === Keegers_Shyia is now known as Keegers [02:32] ActionParsnip: He already looked there [02:33] ActionParsnip: Thanks. Sadly nothing in there [02:33] Keegers: Are you sure the issue is with your Ethernet and not with your wireless drivers? [02:33] edbian: directory doesn't exist [02:33] nit-wit: In Lucid, Firefox is 3.6. I added the mozillateam ppa to get Firefox 4 on my Lucid. [02:33] win7 is awfull yes ?!!!!! [02:33] i.e. when you run with modprobe -r does the wireless work properly? [02:33] vindice: Yeah I know .appName is a variable An example value for appName might be 'mozilla' get it? [02:33] rationalOgre: Pretty sure. Once the atl1c mod is disabled I am able to work normally. [02:34] edbian: er yes. [02:34] vindice: gah [02:34] :) [02:34] rationalOgre: If you have anything you wish to try please let me know [02:34] mkanat, but yet you said that the stable was the source of FF4 I'm confused. [02:34] not really [02:34] vindice: Then what do you mean no such directory? [02:35] edbian: I mean the director /home/[me]/.chm2pdf does not exist [02:35] nit-wit: Lucid has 3.6, I installed mozillateam/firefox-stable to get Firefox 4. When I do "apt-get install firefox", I get Firefox 3.6, despite the fact that I can clearly see Firefox 4 in the mozillateam repo there, and "apt-cache show firefox" shows there being a "firefox" package with a "4.0.1" version. [02:35] vindice: Aaaah, sorry for the misunderstanding. Perhaps it's under a similar but slightly different name? Look around a bit (e.g. it's mozilla not firefox) [02:35] Keegers: edit your atl1c.conf and instead of putting blacklist atl1c write "install atl1c /bin/true" [02:35] then reboot [02:36] mknat same here [02:36] edbian: I think I'm going to look at the source. It's just a python script I think. Is now doing my head in. Thanks for your help [02:36] Of course it goes without saying make sure you are typing all properly. [02:36] (can't count the number of times I've transposed 1 and L [02:36] lowercase l that is [02:36] rationalOgre: I need to undo the update-rc.d then [02:37] vindice: Sure. Have fun, I saw on their wiki people complaining about how the source is a mess and the code is buggy (apparently it doesn't follow conventions either so...) [02:37] reboot! what a godly change to yer system:) [02:37] Keegers: Ok [02:37] I don't seem to have the ability to type in a gedit text file? [02:37] Keegers: Do you know how? [02:37] edbian: oh. I saw the first few lines of the wiki, and that was a mess. Thanks for the warning [02:38] vindice: hahah, have fun! [02:38] reboot reboot !!!! :) [02:38] File is located at /usr/share/themes/Equinox Evolution Dawn/gtk-2.0 and is called gtkrc [02:38] mkanat, the mozillateam ppa has no lucid install that is probly the one to turn off I suspect. The stable ppa is probably the FF 4 support. Open the software sources go to other software untick the mozillateam ppa run a update and see if you still get the FF3 prompt. Bro your asking us to hold your hand on some basic stuff here.;) [02:38] Any ideas why I can't edit the text inside of it? [02:38] Eh it's read only.. [02:39] Vustom: Because it is outside /home so only root can edit / write it. [02:39] rationalOgre: No [02:39] What's the line of code that I type into the terminal to put a file in the File System? [02:39] Vustom: use sudo or gksudo [02:39] nit-wit: Third package listed on this page is Firefox 4 for lucid: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [02:39] rationalOgre: -n ? [02:39] Vustom: touch /path/to/some/newFile.txt [02:39] there's a homicidal lunatic deep in the linux code and he is called BALLMER!!! [02:39] Do you guys like Unity so far? [02:39] gksudo touch /qwef/qwf/qwfd/? [02:39] Keegers: update-rc.d -f scriptname remove [02:39] brad_: it's ok [02:40] replace scriptname with the name of the script you placed in /etc/init.d [02:40] hey is there an audio program channel somewhere on linux, that i could use to rip the audio from a movie out an remux it to mp3 or wav, and also does anyone know what a good program to make samples with is for ubuntu/linux, this sint for piracy reason, i need to find audio apps for ubuntu [02:40] Vustom: ummm. sudo touch /qwef/qwf/qwfd/ [02:40] rationalOgre: Thanks [02:40] ar0nic: is the "movie" an avi etc? [02:40] yes [02:40] rationalOgre: OK I'll try a reboot [02:40] avi [02:40] Vustom: gksudo is for graphical apps. sudo for is cli. That path is gibberish though [02:40] its for ripping samples from movies [02:41] then a proggie to edit the samples [02:41] vustom@Vustom-Ubuntu:~$ sudo touch /usr/share/themes/Equinox Evolution Dawn/gtk-2.0/gtkrc touch: cannot touch `Dawn/gtk-2.0/gtkrc': No such file or directory vustom@Vustom-Ubuntu:~$ [02:41] ar0nic: ffmpeg -i file.avi -f file.mp3 [02:41] oh so get ffmpeg first, or is native on koala? [02:41] mkanat, when you said mozillateam ppa I found this. https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ppa [02:41] ar0nic: or better quality: ffmpeg -i video.avi -acodec copy audio.mp3 [02:41] Vustom: to create the folders that don't exsit use mkdir -p [02:42] Vustom: mkdir -p /these/are/all/new/folders [02:42] ActionParsnip the codec needs to be mp3 or wav [02:42] nit-wit: Ah. I had typed firefox-stable so many times I figured you knew. [02:42] gtkcr is a file.. just with no extention [02:42] is ffmpeg native? [02:42] extension* [02:42] or does he ahve to grab it [02:42] Vustom: So you want to create that file? [02:42] er he/me [02:42] Vustom: you need to quote the path or escape the spaces [02:42] No, It's read only and I need to edit it [02:42] Vustom: yes, no spaces allowed you! [02:42] ar0nic: http://dimitar.me/extract-audio-mp3-from-video-files-like-flv-mov-avi/ [02:42] -.- [02:42] ok ActionParsnip [02:43] ar0nic: all i'm doing is websearching [02:43] Vustom: gksudo gedit '/path/to/file/file name.txt' [02:43] ar0nic: you should try it]# [02:43] i looked but didnt catch much [02:43] mkanat, I only know what you tell me, i think you will get better help from another .;) [02:43] i more need a good audio program to cut up audio clips and convert them to wav or mp3 [02:43] ar0nic: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=3071 [02:43] ar0nic: http://tinyurl.com/3w5xpot [02:44] Thanks edbian, that worked. C: [02:44] Vustom: no problem [02:44] rationalOgre: Nope. It froze right away... like usual. [02:44] Vustom: Got to go. have a good one! [02:44] yeah i know how to use terminal to do that, im trying to find a PROGRAM to make clips and samples, my search didnt turn up well [02:44] nit-wit: I do appreciate your attempts. I did tell you. :-) nit-wit: I'm on Lucid and I've added mozillateam/firefox-stable. [02:45] Has anyone noticed that you can never find Ubuntu-certified hardware for purchase? [02:45] this is for someone who is a ubuntu noob who knows nothing of terminal, dont ask me why the are using it [02:45] ar0nic: ffmpeg will do it, ffmpeg IS a program [02:45] !hcl | hwc [02:45] hwc: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [02:45] brb [02:45] ActionParsnip it will rip the audio, but i need a proggie to be able to edit and change the audio he pulls out, into samples and etc [02:45] ubottu: Yeah, I looked there. I can't find anything from that list to buy. [02:45] hwc: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:46] ActionParsnip: what does that mean? [02:46] ar0nic: mp3splt can pull out sections of the resulting audio, or you can use sound editting apps to cut it up [02:46] hwc: read what ubottu said [02:46] Keegers: :( [02:46] thats what im tryuing to find ActionParsnip [02:46] these audio apps [02:46] hwc: i triggered her to output the factoid [02:47] Yes I did. And I have questions about it. [02:47] mp3splt awesome [02:47] You guys are the most unhelpful people anywhere. [02:47] ar0nic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Audio/ApplicationIntroductions [02:47] mkanat, you must understand my dilemma; I am trying to help a user that can't do this themselves, or just give a pastebin of their source lst. So I have to pick aprt every bit to see if I can understand I saw you mention the two separately. I ask what would you do? ;)? [02:47] *apart [02:47] hwc: System76 always has Ubuntu systems available, and there are other companies that specialize in Free systems. Dell usually has some Ubuntu offerings as well. [02:47] nit-wit: Sure, I understand the difficulties of remote support. :-) [02:48] Jordan_U, he quit [02:48] rationalOgre: My script worked... not a good solution but it works === tchanphysics is now known as being [02:48] nit-wit: I believe that the installed package comes from lucid-security. [02:48] thanks so much [02:49] nit-wit: But oddly, disabling lucid-security does not make apt-get see the newer firefox in mozillateam/firefox-stable. [02:49] mkanat, not sure if all the ppa will show on the apt list but pastebin cat /etc/apt/sources.list [02:49] ar0nic: np :) === tchanphysics is now known as being === OSSandPulse is now known as kdg [02:50] nit-wit: I actually can't do that. [02:50] How would I go about removing all my sound drivers and re-install them, I am having a real bitch of a time trying to keep the sound up and operating on this notebook, and am running Ubuntu 10.10 64 b it and I lose sound without fail about once a month then I have to scramble like the devil to clear up the problems and so far today I am batting zero [02:50] maheanuu, language please [02:50] nit-wit: It's not a technical inability, it's other things that prevent me at the moment from doing it. [02:50] Anyone in here happen to know about Qt's QtMultimedia Module? [02:50] English if at all possible [02:51] mkanat, okay . [02:51] maheanuu, no cursing [02:51] maheanuu: install srs audio in wine [02:51] grin [02:51] I am not running windoze on anything here [02:51] ! dialogue | [02:51] Keegers: Well, that it works is great [02:51] beep [02:51] Do I need wine? [02:51] Keegers: Why it has to be that way is what is baffling me [02:52] OSS (opensound.com) and PulseAudio. I've got both installed but can't find any docs to get them working together. Anyone know of any links? [02:52] wine doesnt need windows [02:52] rationalOgre: No its not great. I would prefer if it was fixed and I didnt have to disable my Ethernet port [02:52] does anyone here know samba? I'm getting nmdb: command not found [02:52] I thought that it was a windows emulator [02:52] Keegers: Understandable.

[02:53] carnage1: what does wine have to do with sound problems? [02:53] the file is .exe [02:53] nit-wit: Okay, if I disable *every* repo except the mozillateam/firefox-stable repo, I see them. [02:53] So I will need to install wine then install srs audio in it? [02:54] * bodi shakes hi head [02:54] carnage1: why does he need to install an exe to fix his sound problem? [02:54] download srsaudio.exe to your desktop [02:54] my sound preference settings never remembers what I used for my USB headset. [02:54] cuz nobody fixed 10.10 [02:54] Vustom: what's the difference, both look fine to me [02:54] carnage1, thats not a solution [02:54] carnage1: stop offering non helpful advice.

[02:56] At present I cannot get into /System/Preference/Sound, it just brings up a window telling me that it is searching for my sound card and that continues forever [02:57] Keegers: open a terminal and run "cat /var/log/kern.log | grep -i network" and see if you spot anything [02:57] ActionParsnip What should I do? D: [02:57] Vustom: ive no idea, i dont even know what that does [02:57] anyone chkdsk solution for ubuntu? [02:58] You can also replace network with "ethernet" [02:58] maheanuu: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [02:58] rationalOgre: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613986/ [02:58] hamnegga: fsck [02:59] hamnegga use the utility units, there is a tool that lets you check and is very good [02:59] What's Super + A? :/ [02:59] fsck on reboot? [02:59] how? [02:59] rationalOgre: ethernet was empty [02:59] Vustom: super = windows key [02:59] !fsck | hamnegga [02:59] hamnegga: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [02:59] hamnegga, as the others suggest, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SystemAdministration/Fsck [03:00] Keegers: what about replacing ethernet with eth0 [03:01] ? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:02] AP, I have all that information you asked for on the terminal, how do I get it to you? === tchanphysics is now known as being [03:02] rationalOgre: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613988/ [03:03] maheanuu: it will make a red URL, what is the URL?

[03:08] Action Parsnip, I ran that and it gave me a tmp file but also gave me an error msg before the tmp file [03:08] Vustom: #burg maybe [03:08] C_Smith__: You've got it backwards. I'm helping him. :) [03:08] oh, lol [03:08] Only 1 person in there. :/ [03:08] thanks.. [03:08] rationalOgre: yup [03:08] hi! I like the way one can have apache configuration files on /etc/apache2/conf.d. However, files there are global and seem to apply to all the sites I have. Is it possible to limit some of the files to the default-ssl site? [03:09] Rationalogre: sorry, my bad. [03:09] no I just installed it [03:09] C_Smith__: No worries. Just was confused a moment. [03:09] Vustom: check the burg site, they may have a channel elsewhere [03:10] Keegers: Have you updated 11.04 since installing it or did it auto-update when installed? [03:10] maheanuu_: if you pastebin the file you can give the link in here [03:10] why is kaemar so u n de fined? [03:10] rationalOgre: I did the auto update and I ran the update manager since [03:10] carnage1, what? [03:10] ActionParsnip: its a brand new install and I have never run it even once. I think the problem was with install but thats just a guess [03:11] Keegers: Ok. Just checking. [03:11] angrydragon: what is teh output of: lsb_release -d [03:11] Keegers: All I can figure is that for some reason NetworkManager is making ethernet the mandatory connection.

[03:15] ActionParnsip: I think that last message was meant for another [03:15] angrydragon: d'oh, tired :( [03:15] Hello, after upgrade to 11.xx I see grub only.. what can i do? :-( [03:15] maheanuu_: try: [03:15] http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/ [03:17] ActionParsnip: me too. i think I'll try again tomorrow with a fresh head. thank though [03:18] rationalOgre: I cant actually get it to turn back on [03:18] So, is the Intel Integrated GMA Chipsets just not compatible with running Windows programs in Wine AND OpenGL? [03:19] Keegers: did you open a terminal and run modprobe atl1c? [03:19] I know they don't exactly make great chipsets, but I don't know exactly HOW bad they are.... [03:20] rationalOgre: Yeah... its not coming back up [03:20] rationalOgre: apparently with my script in place eth0 doesnt even get started [03:21] Keegers: Well that's not good.. [03:21] whats the best gui based unzip/unrar that can correctly extract multi-part archives? [03:21] Are Firefox & Gnome-panel issues common? [03:21] C_Smith__: lots of folks game on intels under wine [03:21] Modprobe should bring it up though [03:22] is it possible to rename the "homme folder" entry in the places menu ? [03:22] C_Smith__: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0tPrBhsS70 [03:22] yeah, I can run World of Warcraft fine without OpenGL, but it crashes almost right on startup with OpenGL. [03:22] rationalOgre: Wont lie... it just makes me want to change distros... again... but I have yet to find one without problems... [03:23] Keegers: have you tried 10.10? [03:23] Just curious, not that you have to stick with Ubuntu or even Linux tbh. [03:24] 10.04 ultimate edition [03:24] I run 10.04 as well. [03:24] C_Smith__: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttImjSlR-PQ [03:24] Waiting for the bugs to settle down on 11.04 [03:24] carnage1: ultimate is offtopic here [03:24] rationalOgre: Yeah 10.10 didnt support my wireless and the trackpad still didnt work [03:25] btw, is there any way to get OpenGL to work on World of Warcraft on a intel gfx card? [03:25] rationalOgre: The advantage of 11.04 was the native wireless support... just one less hassle replaced with another [03:26] because I'd like to be able to see the other players properly rendered or w/e instead of black figures in the shape of the race with hair and a cape. [03:26] Keegers: you don't have to answer of course but what is your desire in installing Linux? Is it just that you want to learn about Linux? [03:26] rationalOgre: And the video quality on 11.04 is better than 10.10 without enabling the 3rd party software [03:27] Keegers: Understood. [03:27] C_Smith__: the appdb has a how to guide [03:27] Hey, guys, I want to resize my home and root partition and create a new partition (going to make a triple boot with GRUB), do I just resize them and then run sudo update-grub from the live cd? I don't know if it will run the utility directly from the usb or...? [03:27] k, thanks [03:28] AP, I started in that page and got down to the rm and it is telling me that rm is not there [03:28] rationalOgre: No. I fully respect the purpose of Linux. This is not the first distro I have used. I have set up several gentoo servers, centOS servers, and linuxmint clients [03:28] AP are you still in here [03:29] rationalOgre: I tried Gentoo on here but there were a lot more issues. I was hoping that a robust distro like Ubuntu would have less issues. It does... sorta. Mostly because I dont have the time to invest in trying Gentoo again [03:29] Since I updated to Natty, Plymouth changed to use the text version, not the graphic one. How do I change it back? [03:29] Keegers: Cool, I was asking because sometimes knowing why someone wants linux can help to answer which distro they should be looking at. [03:29] anyone? [03:30] rationalOgre: So far in trying to get gentoo and ubuntu to work, I have tried 3 others on here. Each with their own issues. Ubuntu has one big plus tho... this chat server. I really do appreciate the fact that I can talk to people [03:31] russjr08: no need to run update-grub if you are only resizing partitions [03:32] Ok, since I started this goat roping contest, its the goats 100 and me zero... [03:32] Keegers: Wanna try something? [03:32] ActionParsnip: I'm going to create a new partition too, I think that would change the UUID of all of the partitions, right? [03:32] rationalOgre: Sure [03:32] russjr08: possibly, can't hurt I guess ;) [03:33] ActionParsnip: would running update-grub already know that I want to update my installation's grub and not the live usb's grub? [03:33] Keegers: turn off your script, then reboot with the ethernet plugged in, when the desktop comes up open system>preferences>network connections and select Auto eth0 and click the EDIT button. Then uncheck "connect automatically", hit apply and reboot === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:34] Can i get ndiswrapper on disk? [03:34] ok [03:34] carnage1: I think it already comes on the ubuntu disk [03:34] only in the os [03:38] I think that I will back up all my files then do a re install of 10.10... This is becoming a real PITA [03:38] I would like to run ubuntu (desktop/server doesn't matter) but I ONLY want to use the command line. I also need the state of the drive to be persistent so that I can add ssh, etc and run it as a server off of USB. [03:39] metrix: then you want ubuntu server and you need to use UUID's in fstab instead of using /dev/blah entries [03:39] How do I set all of this up on a USB stick? [03:40] unetbootin [03:40] is there a howto somewhere? I did a quick google [03:40] ahh. [03:40] I will google that :) [03:40] russjr08: you will need to chroot [03:40] or you could try usb-creator === shinamouri is now known as black_rogue [03:41] ActionParsnip: what's that? [03:42] rationalOgre: Its Keegers... that didnt work. The computer still crashed on the next reboot. [03:42] UUU [03:42] I ooo [03:42] Keegers_Shyia: bah, makes no sense. [03:43] rationalOgre: Its got to be the module/driver [03:43] Keegers_Shyia: yeah [03:43] Can someone help me fix this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/614000/ [03:45] Keegers_Shyia: I'm thinking it's some kind of conflict between your wireless and wired connections when the wire is unplugged, but I can't think of why. [03:45] russjr08: have a websearch and you'l see, you need to change the root where the command is ran so it affects the installed disk === tchanphysics is now known as being [03:46] Ok, thanks ActionParsnip [03:46] Vustom, why don't you try "sudo apt-get update" first? [03:46] Vustom: you can try: sudo apt-get -f install ply..... , [03:46] Are all the dots needed? -.- [03:46] Keegers_Shyia: Ok. You know how to use VI or do you use gedit? [03:46] ldraf: I did, just didn't include it, was the first thing I did before upgrade [03:47] Vustom, I see. [03:47] rationalOgre: I use vim [03:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/614002/ [03:47] Vustom: no [03:47] Keegers_Shyia: kk. sudo vi /etc/default/bootlogd and change No to Yes [03:48] rationalOgre: OK [03:48] rationalOgre: Done [03:48] Since I updated to Natty, Plymouth changed to use the text version, not the graphic one. How do I change it back? and, are Firefox & Gnome-panel issues common? [03:48] Then boot it in the bad way and then afterwards we can reboot and see what /var/log/boot has to say [03:48] o ooo o o |== [03:48] oo ooo o |;; [03:49] ok [03:50] why was plymouth even included in ubuntu? it seems to add so many headaches for just a pretty boot [03:50] jmcantrell: Because "pretty boot" is how most people first judge an OS and Ubuntu want's to be Linux for the Masses... Honestly, I don't know. :) [03:50] o o o o o [03:50] oo oo o [03:50] jmcantrell: its does a bit more than that [03:51] I just want the default graphic, rather than the ugly, off-center plain text [03:51] ActionParsnip: enlighten me [03:51] jmcantrell: if you remove the boot options: quiet splash it won't show up [03:51] ActionParsnip: i know. i'm just pondering its existence [03:51] I can't boot into ubuntu 10.10 after a Firefox Upgrade from 3.6 to 4.0.1, I just get a black screen with a unmovable mouse pointer.. any solutions? [03:51] jmcantrell: i believe it does some mounting and such, it helps the boot [03:52] carnage1: please visit #ubuntu-ops in a few days when you've decided to be on-topic in #ubuntu. Thanks :) [03:52] rationalOgre: Back [03:52] MK``: install plymouth-manager [03:53] Keegers: Ok, so cat /var/log/boot | less and scroll through, see if it says anything about conflicts or whatnot [03:53] not in the software sources rationalOgre [03:53] MK``: You have to add the ppa for it [03:53] MK``: ppa:mefrio-g/plymouthmanager [03:53] Eh, I'd rather fix it via terminal, I just want to know the command [03:53] rationalOgre: (Nothing has been logged yet.) [03:54] MK``: Then I suggest heavy googling for info on plymouth. :D [03:55] does anybody know how to hack a .dll file [03:55] I did D: all the results I found were how to change between graphic and text versions, but not how to switch from one to the other [03:55] Very small hatchet [03:55] tchanphysics, maybe #windows will know more about dlls [03:55] oooh okay [03:55] MK``: http://paolobernardi.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/fix-plymouth-on-ubuntu-after-installing-nvidia-or-ati-proprietary-drivers-for-ubuntu-11-04-natty/ [03:55] Keegers: ... *cry* [03:56] rationalOgre: Yeah.... [03:56] rationalOgre: Where was that command again? I want to make sure it is set [03:57] ActionParsnip: Ok, I have a Ubuntu 10.04 CD, but I have installed Ubuntu 11.04, will update-grub still work and stuff, and can I resize the partition from there? [03:57] Keegers: /etc/default/bootlogd [03:57] rationalOgre: Nevermind. I verified it: BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes === RKyle is now known as RKyle|away [03:57] yeah [03:58] thanks rationalOgre [03:59] please help with the scroll option on touchpad [03:59] I can't boot into ubuntu 10.10.. only black screen and mouse pointer.. help please [04:00] anyone using puppet here? [04:00] Keegers: What about cat /var/log/boot.log | less? [04:01] I had a usb flash drive folder that i accidently did something to, now I can't find it, how do I find out what happened to it? [04:01] I have two a 250 GB HDD (master) and a 40 GB HDD (Slave). The master drive was where my windows install was. I have formatted the smaller drive and backed up everything important to it, and now it has little over 1GB remaining. I want to install ubuntu to the master drive. Should I just put a new installation to that drive, or try to transfer the contents of the smaller drive [04:01] touchpad scroll problems. any help? [04:01] Is there any way I can optimumize ubuntu? [04:02] BBHood: Are you wanting to dual-boot? [04:02] no I am not [04:02] Then why bother transferring the contents of the smaller drive? [04:03] rationalOgre: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/614006/ [04:03] Lenin_Cat- explain (optomize) [04:03] It is the slave drive. The larger drive is the master and I want to boot from it. I'd likely empty the contents of the msaller drive and use it for back up [04:04] *smaller [04:04] like I did with windows [04:06] Request for ideas: Backing up a server, and don't want to forget important files as the image will be erased. Web locations, database (mysql) and web server conf (etc/nginx) come to mind. And user home dir. Any other ideas for what I might miss? [04:06] Keegers: Nothing in there smacks as the answer to me.

[04:23] hello, i get the in my network manager regarding my wireless adapter, that the firmware is missing [04:23] Correct? [04:24] how do i fix this? [04:24] rationalOgre: No there is not a PS/2 mouse attached to my system [04:24] tso: what wireless chip do you use? [04:24] Keegers: Ok, so yeah it's misrecognizing it. [04:24] rationalOgre: yep [04:24] Broadcom BCM4318 [04:25] tso: sudo apt-get --reinstall install b43-fwcutter [04:25] how do i get something to reappear at the top of my panel after i hit remove from panel by accident [04:25] how to refresh nautilis [04:25] or what ever it is. [04:25] Keegers: Ok, sudo apt-get install tpconfig [04:26] Vustom: ctrl-r [04:26] Doesn't do anything.. [04:26] rationalOgre: Done [04:27] Vustom: click on View > Reload [04:27] I meant the theme.. [04:27] Keegers: tpconfig -i [04:27] nautilus -p or something [04:27] I forgot :/ [04:27] Vustom: no idea what you are talking about sorry [04:27] You may need to do sudo tpconfig -i [04:27] Aheh, i'll figure it out. c; [04:28] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/614019/ [04:28] Found it; it was nautilus -q [04:28] Vustom: nautilus -q [04:28] rationalOgre: thats encouraging [04:28] :D [04:28] I bet you to it ActionParsnip. :D [04:28] Keegers: :) [04:28] dang [04:31] rationalOgre: Got a next step? [04:32] Keegers: Was reading bugreports to see solutions [04:32] rationalOgre: Ah kk [04:33] if i'm editing grub to be apci=off, where do I put it? [04:33] Hey all. I'm in a bit of a pickle. I cannot seem to boot up a livecd of Ubuntu 11.04 from either a cd or a thumb drive. I tried Ubuntu 11.04, 10.10, and Xubuntu 11.04, and all of them died when (I believe) finishing the initial Plymouth routine. However, I was able to boot rescatux without a problem. I need to restore my MBR (installed windows, don't want to wipe Ubuntu partition) [04:33] semitones: in the quotes wit quiet splash in /etc/default/grub [04:33] I'm running ubuntu server on a machine with a nvidia card. Does the card need to be loaded or I can black ist it? I'm not sure the motherboard has any integrated gpu... but does it need it? I'm controlling via SSH [04:34] semitones: you will need to save the file then run: sudo update-grub to apply [04:34] ActionParsnip, I'm in grub itself right now, trying to boot up [04:34] ok, try this [04:34] semitones: ahhhh then press E on the kernel and type it in [04:34] ActionParsnip, I know it generally goes after "ro" but do I put it after vt.handoff=7? [04:35] semitones: if you see quiet splash, put it just after that [04:35] sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko [04:35] ActionParsnip, ok, I deleted quiet splash also [04:36] Anyone know how to restore an MBR without a livecd? [04:36] ActionParsnip I need to be able to put a file into /usr/share/themes, but it says I don't have permission? [04:36] Keegers: See if that adds the touchpad tab to the mouse properties window in System>Preferences>Mouse [04:36] hey guys i need a bit of help getting my squirrelmail to work. I'm using ubuntu lucid. I know my server is receiving emails but it doesn't show at all on squirrelmail. Can someone guide me in troubleshooting this? [04:37] rationalOgre: Nope === cortexman_ is now known as cortexman [04:37] Keegers: Damn [04:38] econdudeawesome: u'd need either a live cd, or a live USB [04:38] dudes [04:38] How can I make VLC Player to use 99% of CPU? [04:38] ... [04:38] Vustom: run: gksudo nautilus and you can [04:38] rcconf: the current version of VLC, has a lot of bugs.. i love VLC, but i had to dump it.. there's several bug reports on it's CPU and RAM usage... [04:39] Vustom: once you move the file, close nautilus [04:39] KM0201: That's the issue. I cannot seem to boot Ubuntu livecd's, and no idea why. But I can boot old Ubuntu-based distros (Rescatux) [04:39] rcconf: so you want it to use 99% ? [04:39] Action I bet you to it again. xD [04:39] I'm on a roll. C: [04:39] Keegers: gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true [04:39] econdudeawesome: Are you on a notebook? [04:39] Keegers: No [04:39] Vustom: yeah, but i'm shattered dude :P [04:39] econdudeawesome: are you sure you're not having some sort of hardware isssue? [04:39] ActionParsnip: KM0201: im playing a file but in 2 scenes it cant handle the bitrate it only reaches 71% of CPU [04:40] rcconf: try: killall vlc; rm -r ~/.config/vlc then rerun it [04:40] KM0201 It may be a hardware issue, but it booted Rescatux fine (but couldn't install GRUB2 tot he MBR) [04:40] not a problem with config lol [04:40] rationalOgre: Done [04:40] rcconf: it may be, deleting it will give vanilla config [04:40] I have a core 2 duo btw [04:40] how do I use rc.local to make commands run on startup? [04:40] econdudeawesome: dunno, somethin ain't right... can the machine boot USB.. and if so, do you have a usb drive at least 1gig? [04:41] rcconf: bad config will make apps go crazy [04:41] Gskellig: update-rc.d [04:41] rcconf: I suggest you try other apps like gnome-mplayer [04:41] * KM0201 <3's parole media player [04:41] ActionParsnip: VLC isnt crazy it's just that video [04:41] KM0201 machine can boot USB, set up to boot USB. Ubuntu starts to load from the liveCD (CD and USB tried) but then crashes [04:41] Keegers: Check to see if the touchpad options are up in Mouse Properties [04:41] Music on console! lol [04:41] those 2 scenes [04:41] rationalOgre: nope :( [04:41] udpate-rc.d? [04:41] econdudeawesome: so it also crashes upon trying to boog the live USB? [04:42] KM0201 downloaded from multiple sites to ensure I didn't have a bad cksum [04:42] what's the deal with alternate command line install? has that feature been removed with GRUB2? [04:42] Gskellig: yes type that into terminal [04:42] How can I find graphics card model so I can blacklist it? (Like snd_hda_intel for my soundcard) [04:42] KM0201 and the live CD also [04:42] Queops: sudo lshw -C display [04:42] says its not stable and might change in the future [04:42] econdudeawesome: dunno, sounds like you got some kinda hardware issue going there. [04:42] or do I need to pass in a boot flag with the 11.04 alternate install discs? [04:42] Gskellig: thats if you use the disable|enable [04:42] KM0201 Thanks, I'll work from that assumption. I'll try unplugging the video card and seeing if that works. [04:42] cpc4: hold shift at boot and you will get old skool grub stylee [04:43] thanks again, and adieu [04:43] ActionParsnip: even if booting EFI? [04:43] graphic cards= max performance [04:43] econdudeawesome: hmm, not sure why it would be the video card, but i guess it could be [04:43] Gskellig: place the command you want to run in /etc/init.d [04:43] init.d [04:43] core 2 duo cores = performance [04:43] not /etc/rc.local ? [04:43] ActionParsnip, thanks, and on which of these parameters is it? :x is it the driver=? [04:43] Gskellig: you also could add them to 'startup applications' but that might be too easy a way [04:43] i was told different last time [04:43] renice vlc = very high priority [04:43] Gskellig: then type update-rc.d commandname defaults [04:43] ActionParsnip: after the sudo apt-get --reinstall install b43-fwcutter [04:43] needs to be as admin almoxarife [04:43] but thanks [04:43] cpc4: not sure, i dont use it [04:43] should it work? [04:43] do i have to restart? [04:43] ActionParsnip, I fixed it, kindof. C: http://i.imgur.com/zNbsm.png [04:43] Queops: yes, driver= [04:43] ActionParsnip: thanks, will try now. [04:43] Gskellig: this will run the command as root on startup\ [04:44] ActionParsnip: i still get the message no firmware in the wireless part of network manager [04:44] ActionParsnip, when I boot, nothing happens. I just get the blinking cursor in the top left :/ [04:44] /etc/init.d doesnt exist. should I just make it? [04:44] hm [04:44] ActionParsnip: do i have to set fwcutter? [04:44] what is libvdpau1 [04:44] tso: sure, reboot away [04:44] I just got done installing lubuntu from a live cd, any ideas? [04:44] semitones: is grub configured correctly [04:44] thanks [04:45] billy_, I just installed it, so I don't know [04:45] Anyone been able to install from the mini.iso lately? All mirrors fail for me when it gets to the base install [04:45] semitones: add the boot option: nomodeset usually fixes that [04:45] semitones: it's possible you forgot to configure it near the end of the install [04:45] cpc4: mini iso rocks! [04:45] cpc4: do you get dhcp ok? [04:45] semitones: did it prompt you to enter some input regarding grub and you left it blank? [04:45] ActionParsnip: I know! But it wasn't working all day yesterday, yeah dhcp was up, connected fine, got ntp and all [04:45] Gskellig: thats strange... it should be there [04:46] cpc4: try the gb servers, never fails here [04:46] billy_, I don't remember that at all, so it's a good chance I didn't configure it. :/ [04:46] ActionParsnip, thanks! What does that fix? [04:46] semitones: ok boot from the live cd [04:46] ActionParsnip: yeah, trid that, au, jp, us, sp [04:46] init.d is a directory? [04:46] yes [04:46] semitones: i think its under advanced, there is a rescue mode [04:46] semitones: some of the display timings are in the kernel now, using the option makes it not do it [04:46] thats why I couldn't edit it -_- [04:46] semitones: in there is a tool that will reinstall grub [04:47] ActionParsnip, it still shows up on lshw -C display, is that normal? driver= is gone though [04:47] semitones: it will instruct you what to do [04:47] so I should use the rc.local in etc/init.d not the one in /etc/ [04:47] got it [04:47] Queops: did you run it with sudo? [04:47] ActionParsnip: it stills says firmware missing in the wireless network manager :( [04:47] Yep [04:48] billy_, alright great [04:48] tso: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:48] ActionParsnip, that didn't seem to work, I'm going to boot from the livecd now I suppose [04:48] Keegers: ok, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i synaptics [04:49] rationalOgre: Nothing [04:49] ActionParsnip, however it also says unclaimed now, same with my sound card, so I guess it worked, thanks [04:49] Queops: yayah! [04:52] billy_, sorry about the wait, I'm letting it cool down for 5 minutes [04:52] ActionParsnip: holding shift doesn't work for me, do you know the boot command to pass to run the command line installer vs normal installer? [04:52] semitones: lemme know how it goes [04:52] after booting a lot, things like USB boot tend to stop working [04:52] semitones: i had this same issue yesterday so i feel pretty confident this is what the problem is [04:53] billy_, awesome! Thanks a bunch for taking the time to help me :) [04:53] okay i edited rc.local in /etc/init.d and ran update-rc.d [04:53] do I need to put scripts in there or can i put the commands right in rc.local [04:55] Sorry Gskellig I am unsure. When I added my scripts I did it the other way. [04:55] other way? [04:56] Keegers: Do you have a /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder? [04:56] 大家好啊 [04:56] Gskellig: I created a bash script and put it in the the /etc/init.d directory. Then I ran update-rc.d commandname defaults [04:56] !zh | lukai [04:56] lukai: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn、/join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk。 [04:56] Question, is there a linux thing to disable num pads? when i turn the num pad on, it acts like a mouse and moves my curser lol [04:56] hello [04:56] rationalOgre: yup [04:56] i dont know how to make a bash script =/ [04:57] i was just looking for a place i could put commands. [04:57] Keegers: Do you have a 10-synaptics.conf in there? [04:57] rationalOgre: 50-synaptics.conf [04:57] Gskellig: Putting commands into a file is a bash script :) [04:57] oh. lol [04:57] Keegers: contents pls sir. [04:58] Gskellig: I would do a quick google seach on it [04:58] semitones: did that work? [04:58] rationalOgre: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/614028/ [04:58] billy_, i got a drink of water, trying it now [04:58] Gskellig: A bash script is a place where you can put commands. :) [04:58] so I just make a file named example.x or whatever, put the commands in there and put the "example.x" in rc.local [04:58] i'll google it =P [05:00] 有没有会中文的 [05:00] billy_, part of the reason this is taking awhile is because I have multisystem on usb -- theoretically that lets you boot many live-cds from one usb drive, but it doesn't seem to work every time on this old computer [05:01] 怎么都是英文的阿 [05:01] semitones: oh thats pretty neat [05:01] <_olskolirc> !en [05:01] QUESTION - can you search for all files on your filesystem by file extension?

[05:06] Keegers: i also tried that, got "ls: cannot access *.flv: No such file or directory [05:06] Or you can just cat /proc/bus/input/devices > ~/devicelist.txt [05:06] danileigh79: i believe find uses regular expressions which are far more poweful [05:06] zfs isn't compatible with linux licensing so can only be used in FUSE so what are alternatives for a home server to get raidz2?

[05:18] oh and danileigh79 it should be ls -R | grep \\.lst === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [05:18] Howdy! I can't remember the name of the helpful person who gave me the advice on the MBR. But unplugging my video card did the trick: seems like the livecd was guessing the wrong firmware for the video card, and caused a kernel panic at loading. Removing hte errant video card (and using the built-in onboard video for display) did the trick [05:18] Keegers: thanks to you, you were one of the ones who helped [05:19] semitones: how'd that go? [05:19] whats problem when i putting this code into bashscript: number=$[ $RANDOM % 3 ] .that say:/usr/share/gdm/autostart/rp.sh: 2: %: not found [05:20] econdudeawesome: well thats good news (what model video card?)

When I echo that, it works... there must be something further up the code that is causing the issue [05:22] KM0201: really no idea why that happened. But it works now, so whoohoo :-) [05:22] Keegers: What is the make/model of your laptop?

[05:24] semitones: its something when you boot into rescue mode [05:25] pishguy: I figured, but in general if you cant echo it, it wont work [05:25] something like reinstall grub [05:25] Keegers: Do you have a /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse file?

[05:32] solovoy: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [05:33] C_Smith__, 11.04 [05:33] hmmmm, and have you changed any settings for media? [05:33] C_Smith__, the problem started when i uninstalled a dev version that i had and installed the repository version [05:34] did you remove or purge? [05:35] i would rm all config files and start all over [05:35] Solovoy: have se7en help you, he seems to know what is going on. [05:36] se7en_, purge and then autoremove and autoclean, I delete some PPAs and delete the banshee folders in .config and .cache [05:36] ok well I am off for now. rationalOgre if you have anything for me I'll be on later or add it to the launchpad thing (if you can) [05:36] ok, thanks C_Smith__ [05:36] Keegers: You still there? [05:36] rationalOgre: ya [05:37] Keegers: It would seem that the issue is the patches to the kernel to make your touchpad recognized were rejected by the ubuntu team [05:37] for 11.04 beta at present [05:37] rationalOgre: o...k... [05:37] ? [05:37] At some point they probably will be accepted and then it should be recognized properly. [05:37] so I'll have to wait for the next release? [05:38] Well, the next set of kernel updates. [05:38] ah kk [05:38] well thanks rationalOgre [05:38] They update the kernel periodically throughout the beta and even during the lifetime of the product. [05:38] I have a general question. I started using Ubuntu and generally am pleased, especially with package management. However, I've had a steep learning curve with apt get vs yum install. [05:38] The problem is you have a touchpad that doesn't respond to the traditional "magic knock" sequence for touchpads. [05:39] Took me forever to figure this out. [05:39] Well thank you very much for everything [05:39] Keegers: No problem. You may want to file a bug for your particular make and model, if for no other reason than to let them know what's up. [05:40] I just downloaded and installed CentOS and just like that yum install xchat was flawless of course i have previous experience with RH/Fedora so that's obvious. However I did not conisder how using ubuntu as a desktop solution would impact me professionally when learning multiple flavors. [05:40] You have a great evening. [05:40] You too rationalOgre [05:40] #ubuntu-es === seba is now known as Guest20946 [05:40] irreverant: So the question is? [05:40] Basically, has anyone else here in the IT field had great success with Ubuntu in an IT position as a requirement or would you recommend just remaining with a distro that i'm familiar with and is well accepted professionally such as RHEL? [05:42] irreverant: depends what you want in your environment [05:42] irreverant: i've used both and many other distro's both at work and on my own... [05:42] celthunder: could you provide examples? [05:43] I bow to the TOS [05:43] >_< [05:43] irreverant: I'm just an amateur IT guy so I don't know. I do know that Ubuntu is frustrating in all the little tweaks and deviations it makes from LSB stuff from time to time. [05:43] irreverant: pm? [05:44] celthunder: would you say ubuntu is gaining a share in the IT market. Right now my focus is on learning and maintaining an effective skillset which is marketable to employers to maximize my payscale.

[05:47] Genghiz: I think there is [05:47] does anyone know where I can get help with World of Warcraft 3.3.5a on linux used with OpenGL? I now know the cause of the crashes with it, but don't know how to fix it. [05:48] C_Smith__: #winehq and their website [05:48] its on System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications [05:48] schmidtm: ping [05:48] hmmm, k, I checked the appdb, and 3.3.5 appdb was not to be posted on... [05:49] on the window that comes up, click on the Options tab, and check the "Automatically remember running applications when logging out" [05:51] also, is there a tool which can help you search for strings in files in a folder ? [05:51] for locating functions in code, etc [05:51] Genghiz: grep? [05:52] lsv, any GUI tool ? [05:52] Genghiz: Bluefish editor, kate? [05:52] Genghiz: I don't know of any, but you could just open the file in a text editor and use the search function. [05:53] When I boot in recovery mode from grub, I get a very scary flickering screen: the whole screen has lines like this: [ 0.068003] [] ? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [05:53] where xxx are numbers and letters that flicker very rapidly [05:54] semitones: test ram [05:55] lsv, there are like 20 .py inside the folder [05:56] semitones: Looks like the CPU initilization stuff. [05:56] Genghiz: maybe is time to start using grep??? Sorry Genghiz === viper is now known as Guest16080 [05:57] lsv, ok :) I'll learn it [05:58] ActionParsnip, ok I'll run memtest [05:58] Genghiz: :D [05:58] rationalOgre, what does that mean? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:00] dunno, just 0.068003 is generally where the cpu reporting info happens === derp is now known as ^ === semitones is now known as Drunkytones [06:11] Genghiz: also, look at the man pages for etags and ctags, and then find something similar for whatever editor you use... [06:14] ActionParsnip, so far 0 errors [06:15] Is it possible to ask someone for a little help with Unity ? [06:15] it went through one complete test [06:15] hey, what's the default password for root?! [06:16] I just installed ubuntu...and I can't su. I know that's a dumb question... [06:16] sjakie, you can do sudo su, with the password you made for your main account [06:16] ubuntu doesn't come with a root password by default [06:16] not even a random one [06:17] hey guys, anyone using the fglrx ati driver? I have this weird issue where sometimes windows won't refresh until i minimize/restore them - anyone know a fix for that [06:17] Drunkytones: use sudo su [06:17] Drunkytones: and use your normal password as the password [06:17] thanks Drunkytones [06:18] Drunkytones: oppss my bad... >.< I meant sje46 [06:18] sje46: use sudo su [06:18] hehe that's alirhg [06:18] Hi all! [06:19] Hey I'm having issues with my internal network adapter [06:19] any ideas for how to fix my boot issue? regular boot fails quietly, "recovery mode" results in the scary screen [06:19] It's not showing up in ifconfig [06:19] is there a way I can remove it and reinstall it so it shows up again? [06:19] hexdump_, wifi adapter? [06:19] yes internal pci [06:19] hexdump_: rmmod and then modprobe the driver [06:20] I was going to say that :p [06:20] how do I find which one it is? [06:20] lspci? [06:20] or, alternately, physically remove the card, reboot, reboot, reinstall card, reboot [06:20] but um rmmod is easier [06:20] you can use lsmod to find out what modules are in use [06:20] yeah lspci [06:20] hey folks what does "manga mode" do in comix [06:20] hexdump_: did this work previously, or is this a new install? [06:20] Feel so overwhelmded reading all this lol, you guys know so much more than me [06:20] realtek rtl8101 [06:20] (comix = cbr/z/7 viewer) [06:21] sam___: we were all noobs once :) [06:21] 8101E/8102E [06:21] Loshki: previously worked fine then one day boom screwed up [06:21] look for a module in lsmod that has rtl in it [06:21] then rmmod that [06:21] hypatia: I must have missed it hang on [06:21] hypatia, sounds like it would just read right to left, but I have no real idea [06:21] rtl8187 [06:22] I just came in wondering if anyone knew how to manuely edit any form of config file that lists disabled/enabled plug ins for compiz [06:22] so sudo rmmod rtl8187 [06:22] do you have to do sudo depmod -a at any point? [06:23] Drunkytones: you'd think that, but i can't see it doing anything [06:23] hexdump_: so either an update killed it, or the hardware died. Have you tried booting the previous kernel? [06:24] Loshki: nope I'll give that a shot? I did have an update recently hang on. [06:24] http://www.chnorton.com.au/2007/06/13/comix-linux-comic-viewer/ looks like it is supposed to do that, maybe it's broken [06:24] Loshki: thanks! I'll be right back mkay [06:24] thanks be back soon [06:25] sam___: usually you use ccsm [06:25] sam___: use any OS long enough and you start to learn it ;) [06:25] Yeah I have been using Ubuntu for about a month now but this one is a real bummer for me.. [06:26] ActionParsnip, any idea how to deal with that scary text [06:26] Drunkytones: let me see [06:26] Using ccsm I wanted to disable the 4 windows plug in and it disabled some Unity plug in at the same time [06:26] Now I'm un able to get any form of DE.. [06:26] hi, anyone with a running bcm4312 wireless chipset? tried all the solutions in the internet, but cant get it running [06:27] Drunkytones: which text? [06:27] I can use eth1 for browsing wlan spots, but im not able to connect to one :S [06:27] When I boot in recovery mode from grub, I get a very scary flickering screen: the whole screen has lines like this: [ 0.068003] [] ? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [06:27] where xxx are numbers and letters that flicker very rapidly. [06:27] sam___: under general there is desktop size, you can set it as big or small as you need [06:27] Drunkytones, check ram is what was said before [06:27] What's the best way to upgrade Jaunty to Karmic or Lucid at this point? I can install update-manager-core because apt-get sources 404. [06:27] Drunkytones: is the ram ok? Does it boot liveCD ok? [06:28] ActionParsnip, it happens booting from the live cd if I don't specify apci=off, and in the "recovery mode" kernel, even if I do specify it [06:28] Drunkytones, ie memtest [06:28] ActionParsnip, bazhang checked ram with memtest, no errors [06:28] oops, I meant I can not install update-manager-core [06:28] ActionParsnip, I was able to boot into the livecd and install lubuntu with apci=off, I just can't boot into it from grub it seems [06:29] Drunkytones: did you add the boot option in grub2? [06:29] ActionParsnip, manually, yes. I haven't done it permanently since I can't get into the OS to change it [06:29] dgathright: use the alternate ISO for Karmic, you can upgrade that way. I would clean install at least lucid persoanlly === _olskolirc is now known as testingkonv [06:30] Hm sorry I'll explain properly, the option that let you view 4 different desktops as default was enabled in Unity, disabling that disabled some form of Unity plug in in compiz, now when I log in I can not use Gnome classic/Unity/recovery console anything [06:30] Drunkytones: boot to liveCD and use a chrrot to do it [06:30] ActionParsnip: It's actually a VPS, so I have no physical access to the box. [06:30] ActionParsnip, alright, here goes [06:30] dgathright: thats fine, you dont need physical access [06:30] the thing is I can scan for all the networks, and I see mine but Ubuntu tells me that wireless connections are disabled :/ [06:30] dgathright: for the alternate ISO method anyhoo [06:30] ActionParsnip: So download, mount, and install? Cool [06:31] dgathright: yeah, there is a script on the ISO ;) [06:31] awesome, thanks [06:31] severin: what is the output of: rfkill list [06:31] severin: use a pastebin to host [06:31] severin: or just try: sudo rfkill unblock all [06:31] severin: have you enabled your wireless adaptor? === d_atharva is now known as amd64 [06:32] http://slexy.org/view/s2Qkhuhhz9 <-- ActionParsnip [06:32] r0fs3ck5, I think so ... it is blinking :) [06:32] ActionParsnip, alright, starting from this guide (chroot) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD [06:33] doe any one know "how to become a released candidate of ubuntu ??" [06:33] jeeze I can't get my wirless enabled! [06:33] rahhh lol damnit! [06:34] keeps saying my wireless is disabled [06:34] hexdump_, same here ... what card? [06:34] problems with edubuntu http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/614047 [06:34] it says ath9k [06:34] when I do lsmod [06:34] amd64: I'd join the lubuntu mailing list and ask [06:34] hi there , skype has stopped working , how to fix [06:34] I try lspci and... [06:34] wtf [06:34] ar9285 [06:35] ActionParsnip : ok [06:35] severin: do you have a switch or keyshortcut to enable / disable wifi? [06:35] ActionParsnip, yes [06:36] severin: if you press it, does it work ok then? [06:36] so should I rmmod ar9285? [06:36] it changes the softblocked value of brcmwl-1 adapter, ActionParsnip [06:36] hexdump_: no, the driver is ath9k ar9285 is the chipset [06:36] nope doesn't work [06:36] doesn't work when I rmmod ath9k [06:36] severin: ok, did you try the unblock command I gave [06:36] ActionParsnip, it starts blinking then and I can scan for networks but cannot connect to my wlan [06:37] ActionParsnip, yes [06:37] anyoe can help me ? [06:37] hexdump_: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [06:37] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/614047 [06:37] rofs3ck5: thanks I'll give er a shot [06:38] ActionParsnip, I think the driver is buggy ... there are so many posts about it ... but none of the solutions helped me :/ [06:38] or am I too stupid to connect to a WPA secured wifi? :D [06:38] Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0 [06:38] r0fs3ck5: use: sudo service networking restart nowadays :) [06:39] got the same as hexdump_ : Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1 [06:39] ActionParsnip: thanks, i keep forgetting. ubuntu is developing faster than I can keep track of :D [06:39] ActionParsnip, so do you think I should have apci=off and nomodeselect as the only boot options? [06:40] or should i have something else as well [06:40] Drunkytones: leave the usual: quiet splash to [06:40] gawd good thing my external works, but jeeze [06:40] *too [06:40] : When would u tell abt RC ?? [06:40] I don't see why my internal doesn't work [06:40] could anyone help obelix with the upgrade problem? [06:40] amd64: what is "abt RC"? [06:41] ActionParsnip, I thought taking them off might give more information, and I can always put them back later [06:41] Drunkytones: true, you can always readd later [06:41] Game [06:41] : about released candidate [06:41] ok, update-grubbing and grub installing [06:41] amd64: do you mean Natty? === mikey is now known as Guest83481 [06:42] Does anyone by chance no how to get vista back with a disk? [06:42] hm need a shower ... cu later, hopefully there is a solution for my problem :S [06:42] does anyone know how I can check for the latest version of the Intel GMA Driver for Ubuntu? [06:42] without a disk* [06:42] can't I just reinstall the hardware [06:43] C_Smith__: there is the xorg edgers ppa, its very experimental but will have the latest goodies. It may make your desktop not load [06:43] heck I dunno. I guess I'll have to use the external adapter until I find out what the deal is. [06:43] hmmmm, well, I'll look there. [06:44] Crazy the external usb works fine [06:44] hello [06:45] have you got my password guessed yet? [06:45] hi [06:45] NRCAnderson: howdy [06:45] sup! [06:46] arizona? [06:46] ActionParsnip, alright rebooting [06:47] hi [06:47] NRCAnderson: do you want us to guess your password? [06:47] ActionParsnip, I still get the scary text [06:47] can I call that something else? [06:47] Drunkytones: boot messages [06:47] r0fs3ck5: im thinking it right now [06:48] ActionParsnip, these are not normal boot messages though [06:48] cant change screen res [06:49] hello teslo [06:49] Drunkytones: that can sometimes mean the kernel is trying to find the driver for a device [06:50] Drunkytones: or is trying to access an unmounted or missing drive [06:50] Drunkytones: at least that is the most common cause. [06:50] maybe it's not mounting the partition it's trying to access [06:51] Drunkytones: normally, if that is the case, it will ask you to press 's' to skip mounting the drive, unless it is the boot partition. [06:51] I have all of / on one partition [06:51] so I guess it is the boot partition [06:52] skype has suddenly stopped working , how to fix it ? [06:52] Drunkytones: I imagine so. does it proceed to the login screen after the 'scary text'? [06:53] silv3r_m00n: mv ~/.Skype/shared.xml ~/.Skype/shared~.xml [06:53] that should fix it [06:53] r0fs3ck5, no, it just stays that way until I hold the power button down [06:53] MK``: thanks [06:53] r0fs3ck5, I could try letting it go for 3-4 minutes next time [06:53] have you tried spamming the 's' key? [06:53] no, I could try doing that too [06:54] Drunkytones: have you tried spamming the 's' key? then let it go for a few minutes. [06:54] alguien habla español?

[07:00] sorry to bother you guys\ [07:00] thats all i have to say though i'll see you [07:00] r0fs3ck5, the scary text is very specific and follows one pattern.

[07:00] spenca: so what are you going to do about it? :-) [07:01] NRCAnderson: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic or something ;) [07:01] me, i'm gona spread the word [07:01] spenca: thanks spenca. We do read news. [07:01] ho lord [07:01] oh thats a dos virus [07:01] i'm taking it to the most popular IRC chats [07:01] so be informed [07:01] lol [07:02] Drunkytones: back up your home folder using a live cd [07:02] it seem he was right [07:02] it is true, the gorenetz is doomed. [07:02] hes site was already banned [07:02] Drunkytones: if yoou can boot a live cd, that would eliminate some hardware issues [07:03] goronetz? [07:03] Eh, just making a joke [07:03] I'm on 10.04, is there a way to upgrade right to 11.04 (skipping any version in between?) [07:03] hey ubuntu related question here [07:03] IS UBUNTU OPEN SOURCE? [07:03] lol [07:03] r0fs3ck5, I'm in the livecd environment right now [07:04] spenca is a cop [07:04] NRCAnderson: let's get back to support please :) [07:04] hes trying to lure the freaks out [07:04] r0fs3ck5, I should mention that I get the same scary text booting the live cd, unless I specify apci=off [07:04] spetrea: yes [07:04] i hope they do wikipedia in [07:04] So, I'm new to ubuntu. Anyone willing to discuss desktop environments with me? [07:04] I'm on 10.04, is there a way to upgrade right to 11.04 (skipping any version in between?) [07:04] during 10.04 - 11.04 upgrade, at which i believe was the 2nd last phase (installation?) I got this error .... replace the customized configuration file '/etc/sane.d/dll.conf'? [07:05] spetrea: although there are non-opensource items in the repos which are installable by the user, the default install is all open [07:05] felixsulla: leapfrogging releases is not advised or supported. You could wipe and clean install Natty [07:05] Drunkytones: def sounds like a hardware incompatibility. list your devices please. [07:05] I also clicked to review an app in the software center which may be coincidence or not... and it prompted me to create a software center account at the same time i got the error [07:05] ActionParsnip: Thank you, will just follow the upgrade its suggesting : ) [07:06] Zerst: what of them? [07:06] r0fs3ck5, well it is a compaq presario 3000. I'm not sure of its components off the top of my head, except that the PCMIA wifi is a TI ACX111 [07:07] Well, I'm not sure that I really understand the difference between unity and gnome and kde and xfce or w/e. Are they simply different looks, or do they actually act differently or have different functions? [07:07] bonjour [07:07] reliableNerd: best bet is keep you custom configurations when asked [07:08] The difference is layered. A desktop environment is composed of multiple parts: a window manager, a file manager, various other applications they may want to include. The primary difference is looks, since you can install any applications you want on Ubuntu, regardless of which environment it was designed for [07:08] they are different desktop environments, programmed differently with different directories and more/less resource to run [07:08] r0fs3ck5, is there any command I can run to get more of a hardware list [07:08] ok agrundner thank you [07:08] Zerst: similar functionality -- different environments [07:09] Like, my machine has a decent gpu, so should I be using one desktop environment or another to fully utilize it? I spent quite a while playing around with gnome and compiz and emerald to get it the way that I liked it. If I decide to install kde and choose it from the login menu, will it disturb my gnome/compiz settings at all? [07:09] try to stay away from packages designed specifically for one or the other (desktop env), and use the defaults [07:09] just makes a mess imo [07:09] Zerst: KDE is entirely separate from GNOME. Your system settings will remain the same, but they will not look the same at all. KDE does not use compiz normally, it has its own window manager [07:10] Drunkytones: sudo lshw [07:10] depends if you used the original compiz packages or the customized ones [07:10] reliableNerd: usually you're asked if you want to install the developer version or keep your custom configuration (your config. obviously is already working -- changes usually break your system) [07:10] Zerst: ...and run a backup before you change guis, just in case.... [07:10] reliableNerd: I've learned this the hard way [07:11] =/ How to run a backup? Is there a command, or should I just start my googling there? =D [07:11] KDE is more resource intensive, and is more familiar to people who are coming over from Windows. GNOME is aiming for a more slick, bling look these days. Xfce is made to be more simplistic, while Lxde is extremely lightweight [07:11] agrundner, i opened the file and viewed its contents, and agree i don't think i should replace lol. thank you for the tips :) [07:11] Thanks, MK. [07:12] I'd back up your settings the same as any other backup. You can just have more than one desktop environment installed and play with them as you see fit [07:12] what's the general consensus on unity? [07:12] not complete? [07:12] The other day I broke gnome's panel and had to login with xfce to fix it [07:12] That sounds thoroughly confusing [07:12] my gnome is finally all setup [07:12] So, don't mess with settings unless you have an alternative. [07:12] looks nice [07:12] MK``: why is kde aimed at windows folks and not gnome? [07:12] I prefer gnome, but I would recommend kde for beginner [07:13] ActionParsnip: Well, all of Linux is aimed at it, I mean in the overall way things are presented and organized [07:13] hamnegga: I've grown to like it (still needs work, though) [07:13] aimed at windows? no [07:13] MK``: both can be manipluated and changed... [07:13] What specifically about kde would cause you to recommend kde over gnome to a beginner? [07:13] while GNOME duplicates all the functionalities, KDE duplicates the process as well out of the box, with analogous things [07:13] the file setup, autostart works, etc [07:13] Like, the start menu and the control panel, etc. [07:13] I see [07:14] MK``: what about Enlightenment, or Awesome or flwm, or openbox, or fluxbox and all the other DEs available... [07:14] ;) [07:14] whereas Unity (which also runs on gnome) is more similar to the Mac thing [07:14] is 11.04 Desktop packages from the Software Center supposed to delete your current Desktop manager? I haven't tried it in this install, but I almost installed KDE before it asked me if I wanted to remove Ubuntu-Desktop.... [07:14] ActionParsnip: most of those are WMs, not DEs ;P [07:14] Those are just window managers :P, not full [07:14] r0fs3ck5, http://paste.ubuntu.com/614056/ all the output of lshw [07:14] ^ [07:14] rww: you get the idea :P [07:14] hi every time i restart the computer the title bar and the buttons are gone, and i have to run gtk-window-decorator --replace & disown in the terminal to get them back, how do i set it up so that i dont have to run the command every time i restart? [07:14] MK``: you can run just openbox without DE [07:15] yeah I know, WMs should all be that way [07:15] Hi people. I installed ubuntu 11.04 and the unity thing was nice! then i started upgrading, rebooted and i got a mesage saying my video card cant take unity and reseted my desktop to gnome classic. Ive instaled the drivers now for my vid card (nvidia) but i cant find out how to restart unity. I need help with this... :) [07:15] Out of all those other environments you mentioned, are any of them particularly resource intensive and full of eyecandy? =3 [07:15] MK``: it would give less flexibility if it was [07:15] That's what standards are for, we all know those never slow anyone down! [07:15] Zerst: compiz can be as heavy or light as you make it [07:15] Zerst: KDE and Compiz are both very eyecandyable [07:15] KWM, I should say :P [07:16] Kwin* sorr [07:16] is it not kwin ? [07:16] y [07:16] I'll repeat: is 11.04 Desktop packages from the Software Center supposed to delete your current Desktop manager? I haven't tried it in this install, but I almost installed KDE before it asked me if I wanted to remove Ubuntu-Desktop.... [07:16] Shogoot: you can select Unity from the login screen -- at the bottom -- when you boot up. [07:16] iirc gnome's Metacity wm does not work with other DEs? Or was that Mutter [07:16] C_Smith__: it won't. That's just the meta package [07:16] Shogoot, you might try logging out to get to the login screen. Then Click on your name to put your cursor in the password box, and at the bottom of the screen switch from Ubuntu Classic to Ubuntu [07:16] That should get you back to unity [07:17] ah, k [07:17] ill check taht out [07:17] installing kubuntu-desktop will not remove anything [07:17] C_Smith__: you can remove the ubuntu-desktop package, its only a metapackage [07:17] Drunkytones: I can't see anything there that should cause what you are describing, unless it is defective in some way. [07:17] But then again, GNOME wants to fork and make its own OS anyway :P [07:17] ok, I see, I always thought it was the actual environment, just goes to show how much of a newbie at Linux I am. [07:17] Hi all - My mouse (Razer Naga) doesn't seem to work with ubuntu. Can anyone help me to get it to work? This is as far as I've gotten: Typed xinput list in terminal and under vitrual core pointer it lists "virtual core XTEST pointer" and "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" (no mouse). [07:18] doesn't mean I can't learn, though! :D [07:18] Drunkytones: can you actually log in and access the filesystem? [07:18] r0fs3ck5, I see.. So I'll try to boot, spam s, and let it go for 4 minutes [07:18] r0fs3ck5, I can chroot from the live cd [07:18] Drunkytones: that may be the way to go. [07:18] Zerst: personally I think the ozone theme in lxde+openbox looks awesome :) [07:18] r0fs3ck5, to do what? [07:19] Drunkytones: "I can chroot from the live cd" [07:19] so, how is everyone? [07:19] Drunkytones: then back up and reinstall [07:19] I just stick to gnome-shell on gnome 2 for now [07:19] r0fs3ck5, oh, this is a fresh install [07:19] It was set to Ubuntu (not clasic)... I logged back in no, and unity is still not up..... its broken someway [07:20] _kad: tired but off home from work now :) [07:20] r0fs3ck5, you think a reinstall could fix everything :) [07:20] Drunkytones: did you check the disc for erros? [07:20] C_Smith__: tired but off home from work [07:20] r0fs3ck5, yes I did. however I went ahead and burned a new disk at slowest speed [07:20] cool [07:20] C_Smith__: i'll chat on the bus, gotta love andchat [07:21] r0fs3ck5, because I read that even with no errors, older computers can't handle a writespeed greater than their readspeed [07:21] Drunkytones: kernel version? [07:21] kinda liking my Lightscribe setup, makes some good labels with l3 [07:21] r0fs3ck5, it's regular natty, so 2.6.38-8-generic === astald0 is now known as Shogoot [07:22] it did not work. It was set to Ubuntu (not clasic)... I logged back in no, and unity is still not up..... its broken someway [07:22] Drunkytones: I'm struggling to discern the problem. maybe track down your local ubuntu community for some IRL support. [07:23] r0fs3ck5, alright, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for all your help! [07:23] what is the name of gnome's workspace? [07:23] Drunkytones: unless someone else here has an opinion [07:23] I forgot [07:23] is there any way I can check my x.org and Intel driver version? [07:24] ActionParsnip was helping me earlier, but it looks like he went to bed [07:25] r0fs3ck5, I had better get some sleep too. I can try again later, and maybe reinstalling would help sometime, but this is a really old computer for sure [07:25] Drunkytones: no probs. Sorry I couldn't fix it for you. [07:25] There's an easy way C_Smith__ but I forgot it [07:25] thats ok, I learned a lot [07:25] k [07:25] take it easy everyone, good night [07:26] have a good one, man [07:26] Anyone to help me with my unity problem? [07:26] Wish I could. =. [07:26] hell-o [07:26] C_Smith__: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:27] k, thanks [07:28] quit [07:28] Shogoot: if you're in the Unity version and Unity is not coming up, try: $unity --reset [07:29] anyone know how to edit xinput to get my mouse to show up as a pointer? [07:29] agrundner, gonna try that [07:29] Shogoot: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html [07:30] agrundner, i get a error, can you take a look at this? http://pastebin.com/pq43RkgR [07:31] kyle__: do you have the mouse issue where its a branded thing but not working [07:31] Shogoot: try it without the sudo [07:31] ActionParsnip: I'm not sure what you mean by branded. From what I can tell ubuntu doesn't know my mouse exists at all. [07:32] hi, how to configure wireless network on boot in ubuntu? [07:32] kyle__: does the device have a make/model ? [07:33] ActionParsnip: Yes. Make: Razer Model: Naga [07:33] agrundner, more errors. http://pastebin.com/65Ln8jfF [07:33] zmyrgel: network manager will connect to networks you teach it [07:34] ActionParsnip: I'm using CLI only tools [07:34] it's for a HTPC box [07:34] kyle__: you may need an xorg.conf to define it [07:34] Shogoot: you've installed the latest nvidia drivers, right? [07:35] agrundner, the ones that is recomended on the additional drivers thingy. [07:35] zmyrgel: it would have been useful to add that to the initial question don't you think? [07:35] ActionParsnip: How do I do that? [07:35] Shogoot: I have one last tip for you... one sec [07:36] Hello. I want to set a VPN-connection with "itshidden.com". Can somebody provide me with a manual for it? [07:37] zmyrgel: you can use nmcli in command line, or even better install wicd and use wicd-curses as a nice text based gui [07:37] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks. I'll look into it [07:38] Shogoot: $gksu nvidia-settings <- open this up and THEN save your settings to Xorg or whatever the option is -- I forget. After that reboot and try the reset function again if Unity doesn't come up. Good luck! [07:39] isn't there a mailing list for support? I looked, and there wasn't a support mailing list there. [07:39] kyle__: search for the make and model of the mouse but add xorg.conf to the search. You can get write access to the file with: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:39] hey I'm following the steps here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding undetected resolutions and I still can't get my external monitor to display 19200x1200 [07:40] kyle__: the OS doesn't ship with the file but if one is present it will be obeyed === bitmwh is now known as BITmwh [07:41] Dpn: what video chip do you use? [07:42] ActionParsnip, it's an intel in a dell laptop [07:42] ActionParsnip: Yeah I don't have xorg.conf, already tried editing it. [07:43] ActionParsnip, "intel integrated" 2nd gen according to dmsg [07:43] kyle__: if you find a suggested entry for you mouse, add it i [07:43] In the file [07:43] bastard spoiting my insecure kvirc lol [07:43] !ubottu pastebin [07:44] ActionParsnip, i used xrandr to add the resolution and refresh rate... when i try to use it in "Monitors" it says it can't set it [07:44] !pastebin [07:44] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [07:44] when is the patched kvirc going into the ubuntu repos? [07:44] Dpn: my video skills are low except for nvidia chips [07:45] ActionParsnip, fair enough. same here... i've always had nvidia before this too :) [07:46] Pure nvidia here except my lappy which just works in any distro i throw at it [07:48] kvirc patched for what? [07:49] ActionParsnip: When I type gksudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf and try to add stuff and save it says "could not find the file /etc/x11/xorg.conf" [07:49] kyle__: by default the file does not exist. the nvidia-settings tool can make the file (if you are on ncvidia) [07:50] kyle__: ok then run: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf then edit it [07:51] Dr_Willis: its some intel thing [07:52] have they ported ambiance for gtk3 yet? [07:52] Dr_Willis: Do you mean "NVIDIA X Server Settings"? If so how do I use it to make the file? [07:52] anyone aware of the 11.04 bug that doesn't allow it to be installed as a Xen guest? [07:52] if its Intel . then you dont use the 'nvidia-settings' program :) [07:53] and actually seems to be ubuntu specific even when trying 2.6.38 on 10.04 [07:53] Dr_Willis: If what is intel? My processor? [07:53] doesn't find any devices [07:54] cool, i fixed all my issues with Unity and now I'm a happy camper! === skumara_ is now known as skumara [08:08] Ola bruederz [08:08] Ola penguinz [08:08] hmm [08:09] Dr_Willis bro good mornin' to you:D [08:10] Jo reggelt dicsoseges testvereim [08:10] What does dd do if you don't give it a target device? [08:11] cAN ANYONE HELP ME ESTABLISH A WIRELES CONNECTION ON A LAPTOP THAT I HAVE JUST LOADED UBUNTU ONTO [08:11] I would say it gives an error.. since dding output to the stdout might be a little silly. [08:11] Just print to stdout? [08:11] Try it and see. :) [08:11] Because I just did it and got binary [08:11] dd if=/dev/random [08:11] looks like its goes to std out then. [08:12] So I just want to know that it didn't overwrite my bootloader, lol. [08:12] thats now most of those apps work. so they can vbe chained together. [08:12] it would only write to where you teold it to wite [08:12] !wireless | ozzloy [08:12] ozzloy: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:12] I thought it might default to /sdb or something. [08:12] theres more to 'dd then writing to hard drives.. :) [08:12] THANKS i WILL TRY IT OUT [08:13] Like? It's a program for reading sectors......... [08:13] its a program for reading 'data' - [08:14] hard drives are just another file to dd. [08:14] http://maarten.lippmann.us/?page_id=116 [08:16] dont forget about 'dd_rescue' and 'ddrescue' if trying to recover bad hard drives [08:16] Okay then, lastly, why does binary use so many weird characters? [08:16] anyone know of a way to share a large amount of photos to personal computers? All I can think if is VPN+SAMBA. [08:16] I want to be able to access my photos from anywhere [08:17] Some webmagic would do if there is any [08:18] Evildaemon: it dosent use characters at all.. its binary data [08:18] You are seing binary converted to 'ascii' [08:18] !IRC [08:18] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [08:19] rical: theres services like 'orb' that let you access a remote pc via special interfaces/web inteface. Not sure if ORB is out for linux yet. [08:19] guys, i have a cable modem + router and 2 copies of Ubuntu, one on desktop and one on laptop, what should i do so they can see each other and share files etc? [08:19] rical: then thers the dozens of online photo shareing sites.. [08:20] DirtyDawg: easy way. install ssh on both. set up 'sshfs' so you can mount the remote box to a local directory. Samba and the normal shareing method can work also. [08:20] I know, the point being that whats the conversion supposed to be? Even MORE cryptic then machine code? [08:20] Dr_Willis: thx mate i will look into that :) [08:20] as for 'seeing each other' - put them all on the network - see if they can ping each others ip.. if so then they are 'seeing each other' [08:20] rical: perhaps pogoplug? [08:21] the windows 'network neighborhood' is 'samba' in the linux world. [08:21] ahh [08:21] ive seen PogoPlugs' but never bought one. [08:21] pcs do not have to 'see each other via network neightborhood' to be networked.. [08:21] Dr_Willis: they have a desktop app now, too -- linux version available [08:21] agrundner: whats that? I have the server, just need a way of remotly access the photos [08:22] agrundner: saw those plugs just the other day. Theres getting to be a lot of NAS gizmos out. [08:22] thinking about using webdav perhaps. [08:22] rical: now many users accessing the stuff and how many files you talking about? [08:22] rical: pogoplug.com [08:23] Dr_Willis: 25gb of photos, just me from 3 machines === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [08:23] You could just set up sshfs or somthing i guess to get to them if its just you. [08:23] depends on how you want to access them [08:24] Dr_Willis: that could be a sollution, I will try it out, thanks [08:25] agrundner: looks to magical to me ;) [08:25] rical: I'm trying to think of another option for you. You say you have all the images on a home server? [08:26] hi guys, where is ubuntu dev channel? [08:26] why go complex is fimple ssh or ftp can work [08:26] #ubuntu-dev perhaps? [08:26] !dev [08:26] Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [08:26] Dr_Willis: that's true [08:26] so, serious question for Natty users.... [08:26] why did Ubuntu invent Unity when it turns out Gnome3 does all that, and better? [08:27] because gnome3 wasn't out yet [08:27] =P [08:27] Dr_Willis: it depends who he wants to give access to and their level of expertise. [08:27] why doesn't apt-get properly install xml2 or python-4suite-xml correctly in 11.04? [08:27] vexati0n: good question. Just to be different, I guess. [08:28] have I found reason #10 to reconsider 11.04? [08:29] if you need xml2 you're obviously too advanced to be an ubuntu user. [08:29] check bug reports, check the forums, check askubuntu.com [08:29] file a bug report.. [08:29] or call microsoft, i hear they love it when you call them with questions about apt-get. [08:30] could be a issue as simple as a bug in the pckageing.. [08:30] i guess I could spend 5 hours tomorrow on my day off to hunt down all the dependencies required to install it myself [08:31] awesome [08:31] vexati0n: I believe Ubuntu wants to pave its own path with Unity -- not do more of the same. [08:31] hi everyone [08:31] or you could check th forums and askubuntu.com and perhaps find a fix.. [08:31] guys, [08:31] is Ubuntu working on any android tablet? [08:31] need help dual boot mandriva and ubuntu [08:31] i have mandriva installed in sda6 [08:32] and ubuntu in sda5 [08:32] Vi0 ive not seen any tablets that come with ubuntu yet. ive heard there are ARM based ubuntu tablets in the works. but not seen any in stores. [08:32] ViO: where did you hear that? [08:32] im using mandriva's grub to load ubuntu [08:32] but it shows an error file not found [08:32] agrundner, I did not [08:32] please help [08:32] that is why I am asking [08:32] cheap android tablets are getting to be in every sale paper at every little store ive seen... I got a $75 one at CVS last month [08:32] would be awesome [08:33] both are open source [08:33] Most are so low powered. i dont think they would run ubunu very well [08:33] What an adroid tablet at cvs? [08:33] many are so locked down.. installing any other OS is a big hassle. [08:33] low powered @ doublecore 1ghz [08:33] right.. [08:33] some cheap SYlvania tablety. $99 and i had a 25% off cupon [08:33] linux runs fine on 100mhz 386 cpus [08:33] sorry 586* [08:33] someone help please [08:33] linux may run fine.. but a full desktop is a bit more... [08:34] and 'fine' is relative. :) [08:34] it has a decent graphics driver [08:34] ViO: I did hear about kubuntu coming to mobile - http://apachelog.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/kubuntu-11-10-mobile-devices-sneak-peak/ [08:34] Dr_Willis, how about backtrack ? [08:34] ViO: what about backtrack? [08:34] on an android tablet.. [08:34] wouldn't that be something [08:34] Tablets suck anyways why own one? [08:35] I dont see the point of using backtrack on a real pc... much less a tablet.. [08:35] No keyboard, crap storage, poor ram, low processor speed. [08:35] Tablet = mobil video screen for the grandkids here. [08:35] irreverant, BT keyboard [08:35] crap storage? [08:35] Many tablets do not come with BT. [08:35] for the same price you can buy a beefed up netbook. [08:35] really? [08:35] it depends on the tablet. [08:35] Yep [08:35] what do you expect from a $100 tablet... [08:35] irreverant, but people don't [08:36] it's more like using the material we already have [08:36] and it is clear that tablets are the future [08:36] they will become even more powerful [08:36] Besides, your going to be carrying around a BT keyboard and a tablet... what's the diff? [08:36] they are going def. the correct path so far [08:36] kubuntu is looking awesome atm [08:36] Is there a way to fix this issue without windows? Since I do not have any windows, and the harddrive I'm trying to mount to is my backup drive with no OS on it for me to "/checkdsk thingy f" it. My error message upon mounting: http://pastebin.com/5NyrJ09U [08:36] tablets are more of a consumption device. It's hard to get any actual work done with them without adding accessories to them. [08:37] auk: there are some legal (from what i hear) MS windows minimal rescue cd's that can boot and check the fs and stuff [08:37] we are the future [08:37] agrundner: I agree. [08:37] it's important we start shaping it to our likings, agrundner [08:37] anyone knows why Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2800 802.11n PCI disconnects wifi on natty? [08:37] please a real issue here [08:37] such as BT, f.ex [08:37] i cannot boot ubuntu using grub [08:37] BackTrack [08:37] just examples [08:37] auk systemrescuecd [08:37] ripthejacker: Define "real issue". Lol. [08:38] Alrighties. [08:38] The most amazing thing about Backtrack is the # Of users that have NO clue what they are doing with it.. comming in here and asking about how to do trivial things with BT.. [08:38] Tnx. [08:38] ViO: look into the ASUS Transformer -- best of both worlds (sort of) [08:38] auk: i mean we can have debate on ubuntu chat room [08:38] Ah, [08:38] it does look nice agrundner [08:38] auk: i dont mean you but some others [08:38] i think alot of backtrack users use it to crack wep and think they anr now hackers [08:39] but the battery life is not really something you should be talking about [08:39] but more like the actual droid based tablets, with multi-boot [08:39] lol @ wep, DirtyDawg [08:39] lol [08:39] that is true [08:40] Ubuntu running on my smartphone was nice. I'd dig it on a tablet [08:40] ..or they accidentily crack s0ny web with sqlinject [08:40] hehe [08:40] I'd recommend letting Ubuntu's grub2 control the mbr as it should detect Mandriva automatically. [08:40] ripthejacker, if you want to run a script and pastebin it we could probably figure it out. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [08:40] but yeah, ubuntu + tablet == future? [08:40] ripthejacker: ^^ [08:40] ViO: also checkout http://www.alwaysinnovating.com 's Touch Book -- more linux-y than the transformer [08:41] ViO: i would love ubuntu running on ipad or something [08:41] lotuspsychje, it's in the works [08:41] #idroid-project [08:41] they are porting over the drivers [08:41] tnx for that! [08:41] nit-wit: what script im trying to dual boot ubuntu and mandriva using mandriva's grub [08:41] whats that [08:41] idroid project? [08:41] oh nvm [08:41] nit-wit: but when i try to boot it says file not found [08:41] droid != android [08:41] i got excited [08:41] ripthejacker: Why do you want to use mandriva's grub? [08:42] +1 [08:42] Gskellig, they are making the drivers for linux (ubuntu will be a separate project) once the drivers are on board [08:42] Jordan_U: im a linux newbie so i dont know how to use the terms [08:42] going to make the ipad boot all linux :) [08:42] i dont use idevices [08:42] that will take some time, as they are missing kernel devs [08:42] Jordan_U: i mean the grub mandriva installed [08:42] so [08:42] doesnt really matter [08:42] linux (based) [08:42] i thought it was ubuntu for DROIDS [08:42] like [08:43] motorola droid line [08:43] Gskellig: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:43] right.. [08:43] interesting ViO [08:43] droid, droid2, droidx, etc. oh stfu floodbot1 [08:43] lotuspsychje, need to get the word out [08:43] brb [08:43] hello. I've got a file by performing a mysqldump - therefore it has multiple databases. How can I restore a single database only? [08:43] same here shopping [08:44] anyone? [08:44] ripthejacker: The terms you're using are fine. But I would recommend that rather than trying to restore the grub Mandriva installed, which is grub legacy, you restore Ubuntu's grub which is grub2. [08:44] does anyone know how to successfully install and use Burg Bootloader? [08:44] yeah [08:44] casey_: BURG isn't supported here. I can help you install graphical themes for GRUB2 though. [08:44] Off-topic-ish: anyone really good with Chi-squared based statistics? PM me, cheers. [08:44] Jordan_U: why is that? [08:44] i never got burg working right. [08:45] Jordan_U: with grub2 mandriva wasnt booting [08:45] casey_: Because it's a one person fork (and one that is starting to look abandoned). [08:45] ripthejacker: What problem were you having specifically with grub2? [08:46] Jordan_U: Gotcha. Well can I get help for making some changes to Grub 2? [08:46] Jordan_U: I am using 10.10 btw. [08:46] casey_: Sure. What changes do you want to make? [08:46] !bootinfo | ripthejacker [08:46] ripthejacker: To diagnose boot issues, you can use the Boot Info Script available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ Run the script with !sudo and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [08:47] Jordan_U: I'd like to get a custom background and some sort of graphical buttons if possible. [08:47] this failed for me last time [08:47] mysql -u [username] -p [password] [database_to_restore] < [backupfile] [08:47] FYI, http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/products/touchbook.htm <- Can run Ubuntu, Android, Chromium OS [08:47] instead, it ended up migrating all the databases [08:48] The Touch Book is a hybrid netbook / tablet [08:48] agrundner it's awesome capabilities, but it's also fugly [08:48] it has* [08:48] so no one here knows how to use mysql ? [08:48] Jordan_U: when i tried to load mandriva it loaded but then it stopped with some kernel error [08:48] Jordan_U: this is using grub2 [08:49] agrundner: it's still a laptop. I mean, you can just remove the display. [08:49] ripthejacker: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt it creates for us to see. [08:49] what we should have focused on was the UPPC [08:49] Jordan_U: ok [08:49] irreverant: you can say the same thing about the ASUS Transformer [08:49] <___sam> Is there any way to edit CCSM profile settings without a GUI ? [08:50] how can I get bluetooth keyboard connected on boot using cli tools? [08:50] Jordan_U: Did you know how to edit Grub2 in the ways I specified above? [08:50] all the info I could find details old methods or GUI apps [08:50] ___sam: compiz can set its settings in the gnome configs via the gconf tools so perhps use that gconfeditor [08:50] ___sam, is this because you can't get a gui or your just looking for torture? === robinhoode|away is now known as robinhoode|sleep [08:51] Jordan_U: i run it in mandriva or ubuntu? [08:51] Anyway, if you want a Linux-based tablet that you can swap your own OS to, find a JooJoo. [08:51] there are some simple commands to reset compiz/gnome/unity back to defaults [08:51] casey_: I know how to do just the former, and just the latter (using a theme with the background the theme comes with by default) and I'm sure both are possible and I'm looking into how to accomplish that now. [08:51] ripthejacker: Either will work. [08:51] <___sam> Lol, can not get a GUI any form of desktop for that matter [08:51] http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/sony-vaio-ux180p-micro/4505-3121_7-31879278.html?tag=[object%20NodeList];resultsShell [08:51] Jordan_U: Thank you for help :). Let me know when you might know. [08:51] now that's a computer [08:51] <___sam> So I found a profile someone made that is as close to the default Unity to see if it re enables a few plug ins that will let me use my desktop again [08:52] casey_: Does this theme look good to you? http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/ [08:52] is there anyway to close evolution window but keep it active in the background so i can use the applet near the time? [08:52] ___sam, try a reboot if you do enough changes that is the best way to get back in shape if possible. [08:52] how to add service squid to startup? [08:53] <___sam> Yeah didn't work, all I did was disable 1 plugin(the unity one) and it all went down hill [08:53] What do you think about the UMPC or Micro PC's? [08:53] Jordan_U: Yes that would be a much improvement :). Is there any othere themes by any chance? [08:53] ___sam: unity is the main plugin for the unity desktop. :) [08:53] <___sam> just loooking through gconfeditor [08:53] <___sam> to see if I can enable the plug in that way [08:53] http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1236669 === nibbler_ is now known as nibbier [08:54] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1236669 [08:54] <___sam> I know this lol, I didn't think it was going to disable the entire desktop [08:54] Ubuntu on a tablet would be nice, but it *can't* offer the same experience of a proper tablet OS. [08:54] <___sam> I only wanted to get rid of the option to have 4 desktops view [08:54] agrundner: what do you think of the umpc's? [08:55] ___sam, you need to install like synapse or docky when you mess with compiz so you have other ways of getting toa cli etc. if you can bring up a terminal if you have the compiz config manager installed a ccsm in a terminal brings it up.. [08:55] casey_: Yes, unfortunately I don't have screenshots for them off hand: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/grub-extras/themes.tgz [08:55] ___sam: the webupd8 site has a little guide with commands to reset, compiz, unity, and the gnome desktop back t defauilts [08:55] Jordan_U: I clicked on the link and got the tgz package. What next? [08:56] irreverant: I don't think much about them. The gadget world has moved on. First it was PMPs, then MIDs and UMPCs, and now tablets. [08:56] Hi, I'm working with UB 10.04. Why the system doesn't propose me to switch on UB 11.04? [08:56] ___sam along with the other info this works for setting up the cube read carefully. http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/ [08:56] agrunder: but they offer them in open source and offer a builtin keyboard with the same power as a tablet with much more storage space. [08:57] irreverant: however, Ubuntu would be better suited for an UMPC. [08:57] <___sam> Wasn't intrested in the cube sorry just to get rid of the 4 desktop view that was default in Unity [08:57] how to add service squid to startup? [08:57] lonejack, try going into the settings and taking it off of lts only. just uncheck the box [08:57] does anyone set to me one switcher program? [08:57] !ot | irreverant agrundner could you please take your chat to a more suitable place? thx [08:57] irreverant agrundner could you please take your chat to a more suitable place? thx: #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! [08:57] <___sam> So far thank you for your help I can sort it out if I could bring up a terminal [08:57] casey_: Unpack the directories somewhere, add 'GRUB_THEME=/path/to/theme_directory/theme.txt' in /etc/default/grub in /etc/default/grub, then run "sudo update-grub". [08:57] <___sam> will try when I get back [08:57] agrundner, the best part about ubuntu is that is it suited for anything [08:57] <___sam> much thanks [08:57] or it can be .) [08:57] ___sam: the commands to reset. can be used from the cosole [08:57] lonejack, then reload the update manager [08:57] Jordan_U: Let me give it a shot. [08:57] Jordan_U: please help [08:58] llutz_: moving back to ubuntu. [08:58] casey_: For any theme you should be able to replace the background image supplied by replacing the file with one of the same name (standard png format), or by changing the value of 'desktop-image:' in the theme.txt. [08:58] true, ubuntu can work anywhere -- that's why I like it. [08:58] ripthejacker: Please be patient, I'm trying to help multiple people at once (and not just in this channel). [08:58] hi [08:58] I also like XBMC Live -- based on Ubuntu [08:58] Jordan_U: oh sorry [08:58] agrundner, but why is'nt it the #2 bootable system on android && tabletS? [08:58] it should be [08:58] hello i want on multivote program [08:58] =D [08:59] one* [08:59] how cant i disable nasty alt+shift+up shortcut? [08:59] nasty? [08:59] Jordan_U: Awesome. Thanks for the help. Let me give this a shot. [08:59] I fount it ;) [08:59] casey_: You're welcome. [08:59] ViO: it could be. I've seen tablets by ViewSonic that were dual-booting Android and Windows 7. [09:00] anyone got good, simple, effective command to backup my entire linux partition so i can reformat it and later if I like restore it? [09:00] ViO: an Ubuntu / Android tablet would be nice :) [09:00] agrundner, it should be [09:00] mhm [09:00] !backup [09:00] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [09:00] xbmcuser: some skill and use of 'dd' is one way [09:00] xbmcuser: mount a backup-media, "sudo tar --one-file-system -cf /media/backup.tar /" [09:01] ViO: there was talk previously that Android apps were going to be support on Ubuntu. Not sure what happened with that. [09:01] xbmcuser: it would depend on the details of how you want to backup, and how you plan on restoreing the data as to what would be the most effective [09:01] shouldn't ifconfig give me my default gateway? i only have inet, bcast and mask [09:01] agrundner, everything starts with the "want" [09:02] ripthejacker: I recommend installing Ubuntu's grub2 to replace Mandriva's grub legacy. If you're OK with that I'll walk you through how to do it. [09:02] the fact that we are able to talk about our wants is important [09:02] agrundner ViO could you please also respect the rules here and take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [09:02] next up is "is it possible" [09:02] llutz_, mm? [09:02] dusf: route -n [09:02] Jordan_U: ok then ill see you in ubuntu [09:02] llutz: we're talking Ubuntu. [09:02] agrundner: this is ubuntu-support, not general ubuntu [09:03] Dr_Willis llutz - I just want to back up everything once, compressed or not (under 32gb) and later if I want, to restore it EXACTLY as it was, without too much hassle [09:03] read the topic please, [09:03] ripthejacker: It can be done from within Mandriva as well, though it's easier to do from within Ubuntu if you can load Ubuntu conveniently. [09:03] llutz_ is there even a general ubuntu [09:03] llutz: please direct me to Ubuntu General channel please. [09:03] !ot | ViO [09:03] ViO: #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! [09:03] xbmcuser: some skill and the use of 'dd' can clone the hard drive image exactly to a file - then back to HD... [09:03] hey guys... I was installing an app using terminal using apt-get install command... I closed that window by mistake.. how to get it back?? [09:03] Jordan_U: Where do abouts should I add the path in the Grub file? Or does it matter? [09:03] llutz_ talking about where we can install ubuntu is OT? wtf [09:04] ViO: its not techincally support related.. so yes. [09:04] xgt001: You don't. Do you know if it had already finished downloading and started installing? [09:04] llutz_: thanks, had been trying just route [09:04] Dr_Willis DD does not look very friendly for a backup for a novice.. [09:04] casey_: On its own line, other than that it doesn't matter. [09:04] please vote me with 5 stars http://www.couchlove.com/couch-details/?id=7006 [09:04] Alright, I'll respect the groups wishes. Just talkin' Ubuntu... [09:04] http://www.couchlove.com/couch-details/?id=7006 [09:04] Jordan_U: its not yet finished downloading :( I closed it by mistake :( [09:04] xbmcuser: you never said you wanted friendly.. You wanted EXACT copies.. [09:05] same same [09:05] Jordan_U: Okie dokie. Is there a GUI interface to use to pick or theme, or how will I select a specific one? [09:05] llutz - TARing your install is easy enough, is it as simple as UNTARing it onta a blank ext3 part to restore it [09:05] xbmcuser: and its a 1 line command to make the backuip.. and the restore.. [09:05] Dr_Willis - by exact I just mean I want it to boot back up as it was when I restore it [09:05] i_is_broke, I tried in both cases selector:(1) normal/common release(probably my translation IT->EN isn't correct), in this case I've 10.01, (2) only LTS, nothing.... [09:05] xbmcuser: untar it, check fstab for changed UUIDs, reinstall grub [09:05] tar wont restore the UUID's will it? that can confuse things [09:06] :) tricky little UUIDs [09:06] better to use labels [09:06] yep. Labels are handy. [09:06] casey_: There is no GUI for selecting themes. You change themes by changing which theme.txt file you point to in /etc/default/grub. [09:07] Jordan_U: Gotcha. Thanks for the help. Also, i'm trying to paste the path and the file is read only? WOuld I change this in properties of the file? [09:07] cheers fellas - might just throw it in the lake n save myself some stress :) [09:07] i_is_broke, a frind explained me the question 10.04->12.04 [09:07] llutz_: Dr_Willis: tar won't restore labels either :) You can set UUIDs manually at any time. [09:07] Jordan_U: no need if you use labels (and use them when creating new fs too) [09:08] Jordan_U: I saw that I need to open the Grub folder in root. I am still a linux newbie and don't know how to do this. [09:08] casey_: You need to open the file as root. What is your preffered text editor? [09:08] *Grub file [09:08] casey_: it maybe best if you leave grub alone then.. [09:08] Jordan_U: but you're right, tar won't care about all that. admin has to [09:09] Jordan_U: Honestly I don't have one. Anything is good for me :) [09:09] Dr_Willis: Whats your problem man? Everytime I get on here you have a stick up your a$$. Find something better to do. [09:09] www.xxxlivecam.info [09:10] casey_: i see dozens of peopele break their systems trying to set up advanced things when they should be spending time learning the basics first. [09:10] casey_: so go do what you want. good luck [09:10] casey_: Then open a terminal and run "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub". But Dr_Willis does have a point. While I don't think adding a theme is particularly dangerous you should be prepared with a liveCD/USB and ready to get your hands dirty if things do break. [09:11] Dr_Willis: And that's fine. All i'm saying is you don't have to sound like a sarcastic prick when you spout these random things out. But thanks for the tip ;). [09:11] Definatly learning how to FIX things.. is a top 10 skill to learn. [09:11] I also have a low tolerance for all this eyecanty that gets tossed in and makes the support work in this channel much harder to do. [09:12] but thats the ubuntu designers decissions not ours. [09:12] Jordan_U: I agree he might have a point as I did have to fix my system the hard way though lots of help after messing with Burg. But still, he's a dark cloud in this chatroom. [09:12] Jordan_U: let me give this a try though. [09:13] I alwys suggest 'learning the basics' whenever possible. People are often too 'get this specific task done, dont try to educate me' focused. I teach ubuntu and linux to other people at work all the time.. when in doubt 'learn the basics' [09:14] Dr_Willis - the unheard voice of rationality :) [09:14] be SURE to backup the files you are editing :) [09:14] llutz: yep. scary. [09:15] llutz: im used to not being listened to... im married.. :) [09:15] Burn [09:16] Jordan_U: Alright. Bout to give this a whirl. Thanks for all your help again :). [09:16] since 16yrs, no pardon (sry ot) [09:16] I can honestly say - the biggest thing danger to a ubuntu system is the users. [09:16] hmm that dident come out right. nevermind. [09:17] Hi, I am updating to Natty, Am I gonna lose any files or emails from thunderbird? [09:17] the biggest danger is that ubuntu makes it seem simpler than it really is [09:17] Syria: in an update? [09:18] Syria: You shouldent.. but you proberly should make backups just in casem [09:18] when in doubt.. backup. [09:18] if you are worried back up your home dir [09:18] always backup [09:18] when in doubt.. backup the backups :) [09:18] but apt-get dist-upgrade should not change anything in your home directory [09:18] Thank you guys :) I will back up the home folder on my external hard disc [09:19] dangergrrl: apt-get dist-upgrade without changing your sources won't do an upgrade to 11.04 [09:19] of course you have to have the right sources [09:20] sorry i am used to debian where you use the stable symlink [09:20] thunderbird may crash when tying to update first time you run it.. or the upgrade could fail. and you get a nonbootable system [09:20] or power fails as upgradeing... dozens of things can go wrong. [09:20] dangergrrl: I have received a message telling me something about the third party sources but I didn't know what should I do, and now the updater is still working [09:20] and when a new rel comes apt-get dist-upgrade will do what i suggested === bitmwh is now known as BITmwh [09:21] yes things can go wrong [09:21] Syria: the upgrade process disables any 3rd party repos to be on the safe side. [09:21] You may want to reenable them after the upgrade is done. [09:22] But things are normal till this moment right? [09:22] coming from ubuntu 10.04 to 11.04, i have a couple questions regarding how i want it to run. I dont like the default launcher and want to replace it with docky, i also want some input on if i should just go back to 10.04. because its more stable and all [09:22] it just commendted them out in your apt/sources/ listings. [09:22] dangergrrl: Neither does update-manager, but the newer Thunderbird could decide to go crazy and corrupt everyting on the first run shortly before killing your dog. [09:22] Flash_Jordan: you could use the gnome-classic desktop and install docky if you wanted.. or run docky over unity. [09:23] dangergrrl: Always backup, and avoid assumptions about safety when dealing with backups :) [09:23] yes always a good idea to have /home saved [09:23] usually i can not [09:23] how do i use gnome classic, at login? [09:23] Ubuntu One is a good place to store things also. :) [09:23] !classic | Flash_Jordan [09:23] Flash_Jordan: 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. [09:24] thanks, and by default, unity wont load in classic? [09:24] my /home includes several source trees, video i plan to watch... [09:24] Unity is the new default.. [09:24] Clashic wont even be in the next release i hear. [09:24] thats ridiculous [09:24] thats the way it is... [09:24] brb gonna try classic [09:24] gnome3 is as radical as unity from what little ive used Gnome3 [09:25] classic gnome = going bye bye.. === tchanphysics is now known as being [09:25] does gnome 3 run smoother on systems that struggle some with gnome [09:25] i mean is it more intensive [09:26] unlikely [09:26] so on a decent system would you notice a performance dip upgrading, in the sense that gnome3 takes more resources? [09:27] no [09:27] gnome 3 is supposed to be more effecient [09:27] oh ok thanks for the info [09:27] only gnome 3 testing i did was on a nvidia box using the nouvea drivers.. it was so sluggish it was unbearable. :) so thats not a good test [09:27] o czym wy gadacie/ [09:27] was on Fedora also. so its not really a good comparison vs ubuntu [09:27] ikonia: like kde4 was. it took "ages" 4.5.x to realize that [09:28] llutz_: it's the start of the building blocks..... [09:29] gnnr: The only difference you would likely notice is in the shell. GNOME Shell uses Compositing and GPU accelleration. Since that's excersising entirely different parts of the computer and infrastructure (like drivers for your specific hardware) it could go either way depending on your exact system. [09:29] thats the problem with radical changes to the desktop. It turns off so many people.. its hard to get your user base back [09:30] i've been stuck on lxde for awhile but i miss some of the gnome interface [09:30] I imagine there will be a lot more people Interested in Lubuntu when the gnome3/unity stuff startes getting to be the defaults [09:30] hello... I am installing ubuntu-desktop in kubuntu natty.... are there any bugs/ issues?? [09:30] lxde is very useable. i dident really notice any features missing.. comapred to a year+ ago when last i tried it. [09:31] xgt001: launchpad will show open bugs for the desktop [09:31] xgt001: i do that sort of thing all the time. You may notice a lot of extra items in the menus, or duplicated names that run differnt apps. [09:31] other then that annoyance. i mixx kde and gnome app the time.. add in lxde and i get even more icons in the menus :) [09:32] gotta love having 4+ options for your terminal prgram. or 4 text editros to choose from [09:32] last time I tried it was when I did a kubuntu-desktop install in ubuntu natty beta 2 ... things were in a pretty bad shape.. what's the condition now? [09:32] but when the 'screensaver' config tool is shown 4 times with the same name. but running differnt config apps.. thats an annoyance. [09:33] xgt001: all we can say is try it and see.. You may want to ask in #kubuntu [09:33] will ping back from ubuntu desktop :) [09:34] after going to ubuntu classic i got what i wanted except that the title and menu bars were on the wrong screen [09:35] so when i deleted one (the top one) and moved the bottom one so they would be on my bigger monitor, i realized i could re-add the top bar i deleted, there is simple no way to add panels even in ubuntu class? [09:35] ubuntu classic?* === Fishman12a is now known as FishFace [09:36] theres known issues with multi monitor suppoert. [09:36] I am about to finish the update operation but i got this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/614086/ [09:36] You could tried alt-click and dragging the panel to the other monitor [09:37] ooo i have an idea brb [09:37] 'classic' is not identical to the old gnome2 - but its close. [09:38] Could not download upgrades,, http://paste.ubuntu.com/614086/ [09:39] Syria: you've just posted that [09:40] Syria: try a different mirror [09:40] ikonia: Sorry about that. === tchanphysics is now known as being [09:40] Syria: it works for me, even if I replace archive.ubuntu.com by 91.189.88.40 [09:41] confirmed, the repo is responding [09:41] I know why did this happened, but where should i place this files? [09:41] Syria: you should be able to re-run and it should work [09:41] it would appear that repo was unavailable to you for a moment [09:42] I see, Thank you guys. [09:51] whats the problem? [09:51] whats not? [09:52] you are not able to mount a partition or a usb device.. [09:52] Hello [09:52] Hello [09:52] if i login as ubuntu classic, and turn my computer off.. will it by default choose ubuntu classic on startup? [09:52] an dr0id hello! [09:52] I upgraded to 11.04 , and the font size of some websites have gone quite small compared to my 11.04 setup [09:52] 9.10 setup* [09:52] hi asdofindia [09:53] dr0id: perhaps some fonts got uninstalled [09:53] One could change size of fonts from within firefox [09:53] Flash_Jordan: did you try restarting? [09:53] but the fonts are correct. the font-family are all correct, the issue is with font-size [09:53] Flash_Jordan: Login screen rembers your last selection [09:53] I am using chrome, if someone could help ? [09:53] well, try ctrl + + [09:53] sweet, just wanted to make sure [09:53] the font-size is perfect in firefox, it's the same as it was in 9.10 setup [09:54] Have you checked preferences? [09:54] yes I have tried that, but that's not a valid fix :Dx [09:54] You could make that as default for firefox [09:54] anyone here really good at IRC/android? i know this isnt quite the channel but other channels arent responding [09:54] dr0id: if you http://justin.tv <--click any channel, can you see any video stream? [09:55] i will never consider myself as being really good in anything [09:55] ikonia: Can I ask you something regarding this issue please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/614086/ [09:55] Syria: try it again: sudo apt-get update === asdofindia is now known as benjamin_frankli [09:56] This should work. [09:56] Lekensteyn: It will not work, this links were bloked by the isp that i am using because it contains the word "proxy" [09:56] hi all [09:56] hello [09:56] ù [09:56] hi [09:56] i got a problem [09:56] the 'ù' was a gift from this keyboard [09:56] i have connected my sansa fuze v2 but ubuntu won't detect it [09:56] It's libproxy name of a library file [09:56] Syria: what about using another proxy, possibly SSH? [09:56] help me plz [09:56] dzup: yes [09:57] dr0id: in chrome settings, under the hood, there seems to be a default zoom... try changing that... or font === benjamin_frankli is now known as asdofindia [09:57] It can be downloaded through Synaptic Package Manager [09:57] yes, I changed that, seems to fix [09:57] Lekensteyn: I have downloaded this files but I don't know how to use them. [09:57] but tell you what, gmail and other websites were fine, funny [09:57] dr0id: hmm, never mind [09:57] i have connected my sansa fuze v2 but ubuntu won't detect it [09:57] I'm trying to install 11.04 from USB stick, I'm on OS X and following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick I get a non bootable USB stick with the fs correctly burned [09:57] s/burned/written/ [09:58] Hey, how are you anddam? [09:58] holas [09:58] have you possibly tryed holding down the control key and scrolling the middle part of your mouse? [09:58] paradox_: fine, do we know each other? [09:58] AlexandrosGR: may be that things has an unsupported format [09:58] that resizes text within the browser [09:58] Syria: what files? The .deb files? [09:58] Not in any way. [09:58] Syria: or the Packages file? [09:59] Use Synaptic Package Manager [09:59] paradox_: why specifically greeting me, then? [09:59] just curious [09:59] Lekensteyn: Yeah the .deb files. [09:59] anddam: what's your problem now? it's not bootable? [09:59] No particular reason, I just wanted to greet someone thats all. [10:00] Syria: you could install them directly using dpkg -i [package-name], but that does not handle dependencies [10:00] AlexandrosGR: you have a scope aviable? [10:00] Syria: put it in /var/cache/apt/archives [10:00] Perhaps the downloaded OS was corrupt [10:00] Syria: and then just run sudo apt-get install [package-name] [10:00] asdofindia: it's not, about making it bootable the help.ubuntu.com page says "the easiest way to do the whole thing is to run the Ubuntu usb-creator program. Versions of this are available for Ubuntu and for Windows." [10:00] Lekensteyn: I can't install them I have tried., okay I will copy the files to that address. [10:01] anddam: ok, so you want it ported to mac? [10:01] There are other softwares also available like USB-Multiboot [10:01] pendrivelinux site has several differnt tools [10:01] asdofindia: actually I'd like to make the flashdrive bootable, can I do with OS X system tools? [10:01] Lekensteyn: I am not installing anything, I am upgrading the system. [10:02] unetbootin! [10:02] I have an ASUS p50IJ begging to have ubuntu installed [10:02] Unetbootin is not for OS-X last i checked. [10:02] Perhaps, but it might not work [10:02] Lekensteyn: all I have to do is copy and paste the deb files right? [10:02] Syria: in that case just run sudo apt-get upgrade [10:02] Pendrivelinux site might have some OS-X tools. [10:02] He is right. [10:02] I can burn a CD/DVD but I'm curious about trying install from USB drive [10:02] I dont even know if GRub2 works on Mac Machines wither. [10:02] Syria: are you using a graphical browser (Nautilus / Dolphin) or a Terminal? [10:02] Lekensteyn: Graphical. [10:03] Syria: would you mind opening a terminal? [10:03] once I dd the .img onto the flash drive OS X doesn't show the drive's partition table type [10:03] grub2 works on PowerPC Macs. === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [10:03] Lekensteyn: Okay what should I do now? [10:03] i.e. it doesn't says one of MBR/APT/GUID [10:04] Download .iso file and then create bootable USB [10:04] paradox_: me? [10:04] yes [10:04] anddam: you dont 'dd' a ubuntu iso file to flash drive. img files I think you can dd. [10:04] paradox_: that's what I did, almost [10:05] Thats how I did it. It worked for me. [10:05] Dr_Willis: [10:05] are there img files for 11.04? i never noticed any [10:05] Dr_Willis: that's why I wrote "I dd the .img" [10:05] Syria: where did you put your *.deb files? [10:05] anddam: you dont 'dd' a ubuntu iso file to flash drive. img files I think you can dd. It works, believe me [10:05] Lekensteyn: won't double clicking the deb files help installing? [10:05] Lekensteyn: this location /var/cache/apt/archives [10:05] paradox_: so you're suggesting I dd the iso file, right? [10:05] you can setup grub2 on a flash drive and have it boot ISO files - [10:06] dding an ISO file will not work for ubuntu iso's - it can work for other disrtos. [10:06] I am saying is it might work. [10:06] asdofindia: yep, but imo it's cleaner to use the package manage directly [10:06] I think redhat ISO's can be dd'd [10:06] I did it with Ubuntu 9.10 [10:06] hi all how to make bootable usb from iso without using any tools like unetbootin [10:06] Syria: you downloaded the *.deb files using an internet browser like Firefox, right? [10:06] the askubuntu.com site had a thread on using dd and iso files [10:07] Lekensteyn: Yeah, exactly. [10:07] Dr_Willis: I've no problem with that, in fact I converted to .img and dumped that onto the drive, the point is the flash drive is not bootable [10:07] Be right back. [10:07] ranjan: set up grub2 on the flash drive to boot the ISO file. [10:07] hey ranjan may be that's what we are discussing [10:07] do I need to perform further steps or is it a thing of this usb stick? [10:07] Dr_Willis: Why can't Ubunto iso's, specifically, be dd'd? [10:07] anddam: you convertecd an ISO to img.. Hmm.. never heard of anyont trying that. [10:07] Syria: did you download the deb files to ~/Downloads? [10:07] dspace: theya re not set up to work that way. No idea whats differnt [10:07] Dr_Willis: "Creating a bootable Ubuntu USB flash drive" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [10:07] I thought it's just a block level write no matter what [10:07] asdofindia, i am so fortunate to login to irc becuase your are discussing the subject which i want a solution for :) [10:08] Lekensteyn: Yes, then moved the files to /var/cache/apt/archives [10:08] "Convert the .iso file to .img using the convert option of hdiutil (e.g., hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/target.img ~/path/to/ubuntu.iso)" [10:08] anddam: that guide might be out of date also. I tend to go the grub2 booting an ISO file route these days. I can easially copy over new iso's or add more to the same flash drive. [10:08] the resulting flash drive is not bootable either on the ASUS notebook or this very same iMac [10:09] Dr_Willis: I understand [10:09] Dr_Willis, any help links available for that? [10:09] I have had issues with some flash drives and some machines.. trying other flash drive would work on the problem machine. but these where older machines and flash drives that gave me issues. [10:09] Dr_Willis: can I create a bootable flash drive with grub2 using OS X? [10:09] the alternate instal cd doesn't boot, is says "unknown keyword in the configuration file", and then dumps me to a "boot:" prompt, any ideas? i've tried everything to get ubuntu installed :/ [10:09] Dr_Willis: I can install GNU tools [10:09] Syria: now open your Package manager and press Update, followed by Apply [10:09] ranjan: theres guides for doing grub2/iso - i got some bookmarked at the delicious.com/dr_willis [10:10] anddam: you could use a ubuntu live cd to do it also. [10:10] Dr_Willis, thank you let me check [10:10] the pendrivelinux site has some tools that automate the grub2-iso method also i belive [10:10] halp? [10:11] teh biggest issue with Grub2-iso method - is the disrto has to support the 'feature' and every disrto seems to want differnt options passed to its kernel to boot properly from the iso file. [10:11] Lekensteyn: It didn't work, I got the same message. [10:11] doxin: this is the cd? or a cd put on flash drive? [10:11] Dr_Willis: the cd. [10:11] Dr_Willis, but as u said again there is grub2 dependency no? isnt it possible by using some stuffs like syslinux. [10:12] Syria: what is the message you received? Could you post the filenames of your debfiles? [10:12] Dr_Willis, if we are on an older distribution then again it would be trouble to find grub2 [10:12] Lekensteyn: thats is the message http://paste.ubuntu.com/614086/ [10:13] Lekensteyn: My stupid isp is blocking me from downloading anything that contains the word "proxy" === tchanphysics is now known as beyond [10:13] syria is in china? [10:14] Syria: so, you can't download the deb file? [10:14] are you syrious [10:14] asdofindia: No, Syria is Syria. [10:14] Lekensteyn: I have downloaded the files and moved them to the archive folder, but the updater is not detecting them. [10:15] Dr_Willis: does the partiion map type matter when dumping an img? My guess is no, it's an information contained by the img itself, is this correct? [10:15] weird. got disconected and chat.ubuntu.com couldent get resoloved. [10:15] fudge this, imma go with LMDE [10:15] anddam: its a complete image. so any partition info gets overwritten. correct. [10:15] lmde? [10:15] Dr_Willis|2: it's better to check hdiutil manpage [10:15] Syria: what if you open a terminal and run sudo apt-get upgrade manually? Can you post the output on paste.ubuntu.com? [10:16] I hav3ent used an img file in years.. there may be other issues with using img files. [10:16] test the img file in virtualbox. :) that would be a neat trick [10:16] Lekensteyn: sudo apt-get upgrade out put http://paste.ubuntu.com/614102/ [10:17] !language [10:17] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [10:17] oops [10:18] Syria: and the output of: dpkg -l libproxy0 [10:18] Lekensteyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614104/ [10:19] Syria: what Ubuntu are you using? Natty? [10:19] Lekensteyn: 10.10 and upgrading to natty [10:19] Dr_Willis|2: what I find odd is that once dumped the img onto the flash drive the system doesn't show a proper partition map scheme… [10:19] Syria: are you now in the process of upgrading to natty? [10:19] Dr_Willis|2: that suggests me that the img wasn't properly created [10:19] anddam: you did dd it to /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1 ? [10:20] or whatever /dev/ entry you used. [10:20] Dr_Willis|2: err, *BSD here :-) [10:20] yes I did dump onto the device [10:20] not in a partition [10:20] Lekensteyn: Yes, but i get an error message since the updater can't download some files. [10:20] Dr_Willis|2: /dev/disk2 and not one of its silices [10:21] hey guys, i broke my mbr trying to install win 7, not I dont know how to fix it again. I tried looking it up on google. but its not working it seems. I installed grub on mbr and tried to set it to boot my ubuntu partition, but only grub comes up when i boot from the hd [10:21] however my ubuntu version is 11.04 and my grub version is 0.97 I think [10:21] is that a problem? [10:22] Dr_Willis|2: http://d.pr/f16M this is the info from DiskUtility for the img _file_ [10:22] notice the "Partition Map Scheme" [10:22] sabdfl is dere [10:22] bye [10:22] Lekensteyn: Yes, I am updating to Natty. === S is now known as Guest51336 [10:25] joakim: grub normally goes on the MBR of the HD you are booting. ie: /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 [10:26] joakim: so you boot the pc. You get no grub menu? you get a wrong menu? you get a menu and nothing works when you select the os to boot? [10:26] :D [10:27] i get a grub terminal. like I just wrote grub in a terminal [10:27] I tried writing root (hd0,4) and setup (hd0,4) [10:27] try searching grub recovery mode [10:28] Is there anyway to test with GPG if a keyserver is up and running? All I get from wwwkeys.pgp.net is timeout, I'm not sure if I get any response at all. [10:28] I think those commands are for the old grub. not grub2 [10:28] when trying to recv-keys [10:29] Dr_Willis|2: ah, that might be it, thanks [10:30] OK, SILLY QUESTION PERHAPS (FORGIVE ME TOTALLY NEW TO THIS) BUT HOW DO I OPEN TERMINAL WINDOW IN UBINTU LATEST VERSION [10:31] ctrl alt t ?

I have written a script that unrar's everything in a folder. But the file I want to unpack is split into 10 small archives for some reasons. So when I have archived the first archive, I have the whole file unpacked, but then the script unpacks the second archive (in the same folder) and asks wheter I want to replace the file or not, or quit. Is there a way to make so that the script always answers NO to these questions? [10:35] sos: instead of running "join #ubuntu-de", run "/join #ubuntu-de" [10:35] http://pastebin.com/eA2dLcKk Lekensteyn [10:36] hallo [10:36] phox_: try the 'unp' command. it may do what you need allready and your unrar command may take options to always overwrite [10:36] phox_: have you tried something like cat *.rar | unrar x (check manual page for exact syntax) [10:36] Benkinooby: but your system wasn't just freezing right? You could check the /var/log/kern.log file [10:37] Dr_Willis|2, I acctually use the "unp" command. It still asks wheter I want to replace the file, and I can't find a way for it to remember to always answer n [10:37] is there support for chromium / google accounts ? [10:37] li0s: support for what exactly? [10:37] li0s: in what sense? [10:37] i cant login through chromium to my google account :D [10:37] hi [10:37] no it didn't free this time. i just saw heavy access a few moments ago, and thought i ask about it. when it freezes i guess it's vlc fault but i can not verify it [10:37] (but i can through FF) [10:37] li0s: Caps lock? [10:37] lekensteyn: what does the cat command do? I have no problem finding the rars, or extracting the file, it is just all the 10 small archives sort of holds the same file. Don't know how that works really. I'm sure you know what I mean. [10:37] Lekensteyn, also i can not reporduce it :( [10:38] Benkinooby: vlc? I had an issue with it too [10:38] Lekensteyn: no :P [10:38] phox_: some sort of readme.txt file thats identical in the 10 archives? or is this a 10 part single archive? [10:38] a [10:38] Benkinooby: sounds like a bug (security?) because all memory got allocated [10:38] join# [10:39] Benkinooby: I've no swap because my disk is a SSD, and the OOM killer killed vlc because it requested all available memory [10:39] Dr_Willis, Nope it's the acctual file itself. The archives contains a movie I downloaded (it's not illegal). Are you familliar how they are split up into archives? [10:39] phox_: cat concatenated all files as in: cat one two three > singlefile [10:39] phox_: oh, I see unrar can accept multiple files as well [10:40] phox_: try: unrar x *.rar [10:40] I havew an issue with my wifi connection. For some reason I can'T connect to my encrypted network any more - all I get is "bad password" (the password is correct). I guess it's either wpasupplicant or a driver issue... what can i do? [10:40] lekensteyn: Ok, ill try that === tchanphysics is now known as being [10:40] nicofs: have you chosen the right type? (WEP / WPA / WPA2) [10:41] Lekensteyn, hm ... thanks for your input... [10:41] Lekensteyn, yes - it worked before - the network didn't change but my laptop just couldn't connect anymore [10:41] hello [10:42] nicofs: have you tried restarting the machine? === asdofindia is now known as AsDofINDia [10:42] Hello =) Does anybody know how I can change the home directory of a user without being logged in to that user? (I'm logged in as root) [10:42] Whats your take on writing startup scripts that is non daemonic (it will do something and terminate)? [10:42] Lekensteyn, about 100 times. i purged network-manager installed wicd... === AsDofINDia is now known as capitals [10:42] lekensteyn: Nope, didn't work. Says "no file to extract", after sort of listing all the archives. [10:42] how areyou [10:42] zxiest: usermod -d /home/new-home && mv /home/old-home /new-home [10:43] Lekensteyn how can I specify the user? [10:43] zxiest: I must note: some programs / settings in the home dir do not like it [10:43] lekensteyn: it also says "extracting from archive.part1.rar and so on, but it doesnt [10:43] zxiest: oh I forgot it :p usermod -d /home/new-home user [10:43] rajani, hello [10:43] Lekensteyn it's an empty user... I'm creating it for postfix email storage [10:44] hi ranjan & rajani [10:44] phox_: ok, try cat *.rar | unrar x then, if it complains about missing argument, replace "x" by "x -" (x space dash) === capitals is now known as harrypotter [10:45] zxiest: oh in that case you can safely run usermod -d /path/to/dir username and move the old directory [10:45] harrypotter, hi :) === harrypotter is now known as asdofindia [10:45] Lekensteyn cool, thanks :-) [10:45] asdofindia, why your are randomly changing your nick [10:45] i thoguth it was unrar e for extract.. or am i backwards.. [10:45] !info unp [10:45] 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 [10:46] i always use unp :) [10:46] Dr_Willis|2: e extracts everything into the current directory, x preserves the path components (according to the manpage) [10:46] how are you rajani [10:46] ranjan: situations demand! [10:47] hello ressi i'm fine. [10:47] asdofindia, what kind of situation? [10:47] lekensteyn: the first command just listed the commands options, and the second version of it said unknown option. [10:47] anyone knows what to search for in deamon logs for wifi disconnects? [10:48] can anyone help me in video cache in squid? [10:48] ranjan: i was in a war... with lord voldermort.. accidentally revealed my real identity... peter parker [10:48] Does the latest versions of ubuntu use SystemV for init? [10:48] phox_: okay if unrar is that dumb you need to combine those files in a single one: cat *.rar > single.rar && unrar x single.rar [10:48] lotuspsychje: /var/log/daemon.log [10:48] asdofindia, oh :) id didnt ndestand a bit [10:48] hola, am attempting to open WAN ports. Port forwarding is correctly configured on the modem side & am suspecting the problem's within the Network Connections Utility in Ubuntu [10:48] lotuspsychje: /var/log/syslog [10:48] daemon was Debian :p [10:49] Tyrone: i thought squid only cached http data not videos. [10:49] lekensteyn: tnx lemme take a look [10:49] Unless squid gained new features since i last used it years ago [10:49] Refael: are you trying to forward the WAN port (say, 8080) to your computer (say, port 80)? [10:50] when will your school open ? [10:50] specifically, am attempting a loopback maneuver, though the WAN is not even open [10:51] lekensteyn: Maybe I'm missing something, but that just extracted 8 percent and then said it couldnt find "tingle.rar" (yes, tingle). Which is NOT the name of the movie inside the archives, and I just copied ur command.. weird! [10:51] lekensteyn: now it gave a different output: input file is output file [10:52] phox_: so this is 5+ differnt archives not a single movie in a 10 part rar archive correct? [10:52] Dr_willis: It is a single movie, split up into 13 archives. For some reason. I believe this is somewhat standard, right? === asdofindia is now known as anybody [10:53] phox_: you just need to extarct the frst archive.. it should then see/read/get data from the other archives. No need for this fancy stuff you are trying === anybody is now known as asdofindia [10:53] unrar x foo.rar (or foo.rar1) [10:54] and it should then see/get the stuff from the rest as needed [10:54] I hate split-rar archives. :) [10:54] ah right, but shouldn't the archives be named bar.rar, bar.rar.2, bar.rar.3 ? [10:54] Dr_willis, yes I know. I can just choose "extract here". But I have hundreds of gb's of different movies, and I want to extract them all easily :P [10:54] phox_: you jsut said it was one movie... [10:54] phox_: oo, and you wnat just to overwrite existing files? [10:55] Dr_Willis, yes, I though I'd start small then scale it up :P [10:55] or are you saying you have dozens of movies.. each is a splut archive? each one should have a .rar file that you use. and extract that.. You dont mess with the other parts of the rar archive [10:55] lekesteyn: any clue what this means: kernel: [ 9.276100] phy0 -> rt2800pci_mcu_status: Error - MCU request failed, no response from hardware [10:56] unrar x *.rar (might work) :) [10:56] Lekensteyn: No, not exactly. I want to unrar the archives. Most of them aren't unrared. [10:56] phox_: the -o- option does not overwrite files, -o+ does overwrite existing files [10:56] lotuspsychje: it's an error message you got during boot [10:56] Dr_Willis|2: already suggested, but then unrar 1.rar 2.rar 3.rar will cause rar to try to extract 2.rar and 3.rar from 1.rar [10:56] lekensteyn: That sounds like it could help! Ill try that. [10:57] ive seen so many variantion in rar names. ive seen .rar1 .rar2 and so on. [10:57] asdofindia: i know its an error lol...but what does it mean...im getting wifi disconnects in natty [10:58] lotuspsychje: hardware failure? Have you tried googling it or searching on launchpad? [10:58] ! you [10:59] ! you [10:59] lekesteyn: i tryed to find ralink corp bugs on natty..but not sure howto solve [10:59] lekensteyn; "unrar -o- *.rar" once again just gives me the list of options for the unrar command.. I have cd'ed to the correct folder, I know that. [11:00] phox_: rar seems to accept one archive each time [11:00] try find -name '*.rar' -exec unrar -o- {} \; [11:01] lekensteyn: unrar has the option -y, that "Assume yes on all queries". Too bad it doenst seem to work the other way around.. [11:02] IPv6 :D [11:03] lekensteyn: god, this is getting me tired.. that TOO just gives me all of the options.. [11:05] the unp ommand might make this rar fitghting easier [11:05] phox_: what is your version of unrar? [11:05] Lekensteyn, 4.0 [11:05] lekensteyn: 4.0 beta 3 [11:06] lekensteyn: why doesn't it have "assume no all queries"? That would have solved my problems.. [11:06] phox_: oh... you needed to put x in front of -x- [11:06] -o-* [11:07] lekensteyn: WOW!! that totally worked [11:07] lekensteyn: now I'm gonna cd to my tv shows folder and unleash this beast.. :D [11:08] phox_: good luck, remember to check if your disk isn't full :p [11:08] thx for all the help! [11:09] I'm make make this into a script, and if I'll upload it somewhere I'll give you credit :P [11:09] thanks I guess :p [11:12] <_Fox__> hi guys [11:12] <_Fox__> someone can help me to install ubuntu on mac osx snow leopard?

I want to destroy my raid 5 and rebuid it === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [11:21] fooman2011: you can't do that, as you detroying the raid array will destroy the data [11:21] not a problem [11:21] fooman2011: that's why I said if you want to keep the data, you need to get it off it [11:21] i dont have data on raid [11:22] fooman2011: ahhh, it's not where ubuntu is installed [11:22] no [11:22] ubuntu is on another disk [11:22] fooman2011: ok, that makes sense [11:22] sorry i didn't mention that [11:22] :) [11:22] soft raid or hard raid [11:22] ! lp 784604 [11:22] Launchpad bug 784604 in sun-java6 (Ubuntu) "a new java version is available for download" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/784604 [11:22] soft uing mdadm [11:22] fooman2011: whats the "md" device name ?

[11:23] yes [11:23] fooman2011: pastebin the output of "df -h" please === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [11:24] so how do i update java to update 25? [11:24] teemo: just wait, and at that bugreport, press "Affects me too" [11:24] teemo: you wait until ubuntu releases an update package, then it will be offered to you [11:24] http://pastebin.com/9AUcBpEb === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [11:25] well i downloaded a .bin file from java.com, but how do i install it?

[11:28] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/5veLrXe8 [11:28] fooman2011: you have no array [11:28] fooman2011: there is no raid aray [11:28] array [11:28] Hello folks - I'm having quite some trouble with Linux nowadays :( [11:29] yes but i did not added to mdadmcof [11:29] conf [11:29] fooman2011: the installer should have added it for you [11:29] TopGear: what problems? [11:29] Lekensteyn: No installer is able to start :( [11:30] TopGear: what installer? Did you mean you can't install packages? [11:30] live installer [11:30] @TopGear: try the alternate cd then [11:31] Jmoey: tried... can't get into it :( [11:31] TopGear:http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download [11:31] ikonia: the command mdadm --detail --scan /dev/md127 give me something [11:31] the text based one [11:31] Jmoey: I only get a black screen after selecting what I want... [11:31] TopGear: what video card do you have? [11:31] fooman2011: before we go any further, that's the actual problem with the raid array you've created ? [11:32] AM GETTING MESSAGE nO proprietary drivers IN use on this system [11:32] Lekensteyn: XFX GTS 250 [11:32] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/rfHRE60j [11:32] fooman2011: before we go any further, that's the actual problem with the raid array you've created ? [11:33] TopGear: try booting the kernel with the nomodeset option [11:33] several problem [11:33] fooman2011: I can see it's in degraded state, but why [11:33] 1/ it's partially removed now i think... 2/ it's at the bad place (md127) 3/ i didn't format the disk before [11:34] fooman2011: ok, so stop the array [11:34] Jmoey: tried, installing works, 1280*1024 on a 1920*1200 screen --- after installing restricted drivers X crashes and no repair possible [11:34] mdadm manage stop ? [11:34] TopGear: stay away from the restricted drivers then [11:34] TopGear: restricted drivers are always a problem. can you get into recovery mode [11:35] ikonia: mdadm: stopped /dev/md127 [11:35] fooman2011: , the easy way to resolve this is to just now issue a new "make" command for the new array, it will warn you that the disks are part of an array, do you want to override, you just say "y" [11:35] ok [11:35] i'll try this [11:36] but md127 will be created forever ? [11:36] Jmoey: possible, but I've still the low resolution... [11:36] fooman2011: no, once you create a new one from it's disks, it won't get assembled again [11:36] TopGear does failsafe graphics work [11:36] fooman2011: that's the easiest way to resolve your issue [11:36] Jmoey: no [11:36] ok ikonia thank you i'll try this :) [11:37] TopGear: its probably got stuck onto using the unity interface [11:38] TopGear: what happens when you run startx [11:38] TopGear: Well, openSUSE 11.3/11.4, Mint 9/10/11 and Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 won't run anymore [11:38] Jmoey: stupid nividalib.so (or so...) crashes or something like that [11:39] TopGear we need a way of bypassing unity so it can use 2d [11:39] Jmoey: gotta eat now [11:39] sorry [11:40] TopGear: no worries [11:41] does anybody know where ubuntu stores the config for the last used xsession [11:41] i.e if you switched to gnome or kde at login screen, where would it store the last used item [11:42] Jmoey: you mean the .dmrc file? [11:43] Is it possible to resize windows with unity, like "xresize Title 400x200" or something like that? [11:43] aah thanks [11:43] olav_, do you have the resize plugin enabled in ccsm? [11:43] also resize info plugin [11:43] coz_, hmm, I upgraded to 11.04 yesterday. ccsm? [11:44] olav_, yeah sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager this is called up with ccsm and it has the complete controls for compiz [11:44] Dr_Willis|2: if you last used gnome2, what would the entry in the .dmrc file be [11:44] Can someone tell me quickly again how I can adjust window size via keyboard? My grabbable window bar is off screen so I can't drag or move it... [11:45] coz_, cool. And then I can run a command to resize windows? [11:45] Jmoey: No idea. may be 'ubuntu' or 'gnome' [11:45] kajakajo: try Alt + F3 to open a menu [11:45] Jmoey: you mean the gnome-classic in 11.04? [11:45] yep [11:45] great. [11:45] accidently did alt+F4, killed it. [11:45] awesome. [11:45] i'm using kubuntu so can't test that [11:45] Jmoey: i would just select classic for a user. and see what their .dmrc is [11:46] altf3 seems to do nothing. [11:46] olav_, well if you want a window to defalt to a certain size you would probably have to use one of the other plugins under the Window mangement category in ccsm,, the resize plugin allows for various resize motions with the grab handle === c0mrade316 is now known as bluebuck316 [11:46] kajakajo: at least it's away :p I'm using KDE, maybe that makes the difference [11:46] coz_, I'll check out the settings. Thanks :) [11:46] kajakajo: the next time you could try right-clicking the menu item and choose "Move" [11:46] KDE,i like it [11:46] found it:Session=gnome [11:47] I didn't see a move option on the right click menu. I checked before. [11:47] olav_, if you have more questions about ccsm and compiz you can meet me in the #compiz channel [11:47] hey [11:47] Would still like to know for future reference, how do I move windows? important, I'm on a netbook, sometimes things go offscreen. That's how this all started. [11:47] mmh ikonia ? do you know why I have this error "mdadm: device /dev/sdb1 not suitable for any style of array" ? [11:47] TopGear: edit your .dmrc file and change Session to gnome. (just use nano .dmrc) Then run startx [11:48] ikonia: i launched the command: mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --assume-clean --raid-devices=3 /dev/sd[bcd]1 [11:48] If I plug in my headphones it will not mute the speakers. Apperantly it's a kernel bug I assume, more people have that problem but I couldnt fix it yet. [11:48] I googled first but no dice ;) [11:50] fooman2011: pastebin sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb [11:50] I connected a monitor via VGA to my laptop, the monitor is on, but I don't get the same image on the monitor as on my laptop. Do I need to do a special dance to make it work? [11:51] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/mvRuK01z [11:51] found it. alt+F7 allows keyboard movement of the window, for anyone else looking... [11:51] pozic: what do you mean, the same image [11:51] I already started the nvidia tool, but it only detects one X screen. [11:51] ikonia: same video data signal [11:51] video data signal ? what are you talking about [11:52] when i open skype it logs in but right after skype closes by itself, does anybody know this problem? [11:52] fooman2011: that looks good, [11:52] :( [11:52] ikonia: when you look at a screen, you see pixel data, that is a video signal. [11:52] fooman2011: get rid of the --assume-clean [11:52] ok [11:52] pozic: but what do you mean it's not the same [11:52] ikonia: same problem [11:53] what's the problem with it [11:53] fooman2011: --force [11:53] ikonia: one is completely black (the large monitor) and the other one is my laptop which works. [11:53] pozic: check the laptops special fn keys to be sure the external monitor is enabled [11:53] ikonia: same problem :( [11:53] pozic: right, so the question is "one of you displays is blank" [11:53] pozic: rather than all this nonsense about not the same video data [11:54] pozic: ive also seen where ive needed the monitor plugged in befor i power up the laptop - on some laptops [11:54] fooman2011: is there anything special/odd about this disk ? [11:54] no [11:54] standard sata disk [11:54] fooman2011: when you created the earlier array, did it join the array without a problem ? [11:54] yes [11:55] fooman2011: ok, lets do a test, sudo fdisk /dev/sdb [11:55] done [11:55] what command ? [11:55] fooman2011: delete the partition [11:55] d [11:55] then w [11:55] ok then ? [11:55] done [11:56] ikonia: it is not nonsense, just not as specific. [11:56] fooman2011: ok, now "sudo dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdb bs=512k count=1 [11:56] stop! [11:56] ? [11:56] ? [11:56] are you trying to overwrite the MBR or ? [11:57] Lekensteyn: just zero the header of the disk with the private regin [11:57] region [11:57] okay, just to be sure that that 'k' actually belongs to the command, continue [11:57] that's fine [11:57] fooman2011: run it, [11:57] lol === Lekensteyn is now known as Lekensteyn|away [11:57] i'm scared :p [11:57] ok go [11:57] fooman2011: it's fine [11:58] fooman2011: all done ? [11:58] AFAIK, the k is wrong, but I might be wrong. [11:58] ikonia: done [11:58] pozic: is wrong for what ? [11:58] pozic: why is it wrong [11:58] fooman2011: ok, not re-run "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" [11:58] ikonia: 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 2.3549e-05 s, 0.0 kB/s [11:59] ok then ? [11:59] fooman2011: create a partiton (n, p,) then t, "fd" to change it to a raid partition [11:59] done [12:00] ikonia: assuming he only wants to do something with his MBR, that is 1000 times too much. [12:00] pozic: it's NOT the mbr, as I've just said [12:00] ikonia: still, I cannot possibly see why anyone would ever want to execute that command. [12:00] fooman2011: w and you should be fine [12:00] back [12:00] Unless he is just toying with his machine. [12:00] fooman2011: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb should not show you a new disk [12:01] (partition rather) [12:01] but for the array, it's a disk [12:01] oh god I understand nothing but now I can retry the mdadm command ? [12:02] fooman2011: lets try [12:02] mdadm: device /dev/sdb1 not suitable for any style of array [12:02] :'( [12:02] fooman2011: I wonder what that's about [12:03] ahhh, I wonder [12:03] fooman2011: can you pastebin cat /proc/mdstat please [12:03] why is it that I have to unlock my keyring every time I boot up? [12:04] !graphics | wangata [12:04] zetheroo: that's called 'security' [12:04] ikonia: i'm rebooting [12:04] fooman2011: ok, [12:04] MonkeyDust: yeah well it's buggy [12:05] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/rMJHwCdd [12:05] MonkeyDust: if I boot up and am not at my computer when the desktop loads, when I do come to the computer I have to enter my password in sometimes 5 or 10 times ... depending on when I get to the computer [12:05] fooman2011: ok, so that's the problem [12:06] zetheroo: that's called 'security', i hope malvolent people find it as annoying as you do [12:06] fooman2011: sudo mdadm --misc /dev/md127 --stop [12:07] MonkeyDust: I have no issue with things being secure .. but having to enter a password in 10 times in a row is ludicrous [12:07] ikonia: done [12:07] fooman2011: check /proc/mdstat again, is it different ? [12:07] zetheroo, If I am not mistaken,, I believe the timing for that can be changed [12:08] ikonia: nope not different [12:08] fooman2011: ok, try sudo mdadm --misc /dev/md127 --zero-superblock [12:09] done [12:11] coz_: that would be awesome ... though I wonder why such an annoying thing is not refined a bit more ... I mean people though Windows Vista was annoying with all it's requests for authentication .. here after securely logging in you have to again unlock something ... and 9 times out of 10 it takes more than 1 attempt to unlock it ... :P [12:11] hey [12:12] zetheroo, I understand it can be somewhat irritating,, but there was also a problem when it was set too high,, going into synaptic after a long wait and it didnt ask for password [12:12] ikonia ? [12:12] fooman2011: sorry, I missed that you'de said done [12:12] no problem [12:13] ikonia: what is the next step ? [12:13] coz_: oh ... it's the same thing? [12:13] fooman2011: mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdb1 [12:13] coz_: I thought the keyring was where wifi passwords were stored ... [12:13] fooman2011: damn, md127 [12:13] zetheroo, well you dont want your security to be set too low or too high,, but if it is going to default to either of those too high would be preferred [12:14] coz_: is there a utility where one can alter these settings [12:14] ? [12:14] ikonia: mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/md127 [12:14] fooman2011: that's interesting [12:14] zetheroo, I believe you can change it ,, off hand I cant think of the location [12:14] fooman2011: try the re-create again now [12:14] TopGear: edit your .dmrc file and change Session to gnome. (just use nano .dmrc) Then run startx [12:14] ok [12:15] fooman2011: I don't think it will work, but it's wroth checking [12:15] Jmoey: ahuh? [12:15] sorry dinner now [12:15] ikonia: mdadm: device /dev/sdb1 not suitable for any style of array [12:15] coz_: I think I'll just change the password to blank [12:15] is /proc/mdstat still the same [12:16] zetheroo, I dont believe that is the wise choice ,, check online for ubuntu change password time-out [12:16] ikonia: yep still the same [12:16] coz_: ok I'll check it out - thanks [12:17] fooman2011: Hmmm, I wonder if we can mark them as faulty [12:18] TopGear: hang on will be back soon [12:18] Jmoey: okay [12:18] ikonia: how ? [12:18] I'm trying to play a dvd on ubuntu but I get an error message saying the DVD is encrypted. It used to work fine on windows.... [12:19] fooman2011: sudo mdadm --manage /dev/md127 --set-faulty /dev/sdb1 [12:19] sup guys [12:19] afief, open a terminal and paste this command sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [12:19] afief, run that and then test the dvd again [12:19] ikonia: mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/md127 [12:20] fooman2011: that part makes sense as we've stopped and deleted it, what doesn't make sense is now that it's gone why is that array still showing as there [12:20] fooman2011: can you reboot again ? [12:20] afief, also ,, if you havent done it,, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [12:20] ikonia: sure [12:21] can the unity bar be moved to the bottom, or is it stuck to the left side? [12:21] coz_: thanks it works :-) why wasn't this done automatically when it asked me to install missing codecs? :S [12:21] livingdaylight, at the moment .."stuck" [12:21] afief, I believe licensing issues so you have to do it manually,, [12:22] coz_: I thought the codecs have the same patent issues... [12:22] afief, if you want you can open google and type ubuntu restricted formats and check out the site,,, dont go all wild installing stuff though :) [12:22] ikonia: boot done [12:22] fooman2011: ok, can you pastebin the /proc/mdstat again please [12:23] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/F1NT5S79 [12:23] seems to be the same [12:23] coz_, thanks... I hope we get the choice to move it in the future. Workspace is not well integrated into unity as well, which is another issue [12:23] fooman2011: ok, we are going to have to get agressive, sorry about this [12:23] fooman2011: need to zeo the 3 disks [12:24] zeo ? [12:24] livingdaylight, well you can set it to autohide if you like [12:24] fooman2011: (shouldn't need to do this, but I can't expalin why you array is behaving like this) [12:24] fooman2011: zero, [12:24] ok [12:24] fooman2011: how big are these disks ? [12:24] livingdaylight, also you can install one of th e docks and they generally default to the bottom of the screen [12:24] 1To [12:24] each [12:24] fooman2011: that's going to be annoying, is this a powerful machine ? [12:24] coz_, it already seems to be on authide. Where do I find the preferences for it? [12:24] i3 540 [12:24] coz_, e docks? [12:24] fooman2011: ok, this will take a while (sorry) [12:25] livingdaylight, if you dont have it installed sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-managaer [12:25] no problem [12:25] ikonia: what's the command ? [12:25] livingdaylight, no i was thinking more along the lines of cairo dock or awn [12:25] fooman2011: sudo dd if=/dev/zeo of=/dev/sdb bs=5m [12:25] maybe it's fastest to reinstall my ubuntu server you know ? [12:25] fooman2011: (that hopefully should speed it up, but not flood your buss) [12:25] fooman2011: nah, reinstall of ubuntu won't do anything [12:26] livingdaylight, after intalling that you can open it with the ccsm command ,,, go to the Ubuntu unity plugin under the "Desktop category" [12:26] coz_, is there a preference menu for the unity bar? I might prefer it set to 'off' for authide [12:26] coz_, ok [12:26] ikonia: you mean that my disk are modified into the hardware ? [12:26] fooman2011: yes (sort of) [12:26] livingdaylight, click on the plugin to get into it' s settings,, and under the "hide Launcher" pull down you have 4 options [12:26] ikonia: so ok let's go fo the command [12:26] coz_, thank you [12:27] livingdaylight, no problem [12:27] ikonia: sudo dd if=/dev/zeo of=/dev/sdb bs=5m ? [12:27] fooman2011: you'll need to run it on /dev/sdb /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd - it's going to take a while [12:27] you sure ? [12:27] fooman2011: correct [12:27] zeo ? [12:27] ok [12:27] zero === tchanphysics is now known as being [12:27] my r key is sticking [12:27] lol ok [12:28] ikonia: dd: invalid number `5m' [12:28] 5M [12:28] ok [12:29] ikonia: the machine is doing something [12:29] coz_: you remember my problem wih xchat that i couldnt connet to servers on port 8001 - i went ok when i used chat.freenode.net instead of irc.freenode.net :] lol [12:29] somebody who can help me? [12:29] fooman2011: oooh it will be busy [12:29] sklorpion, I do remember it a bit,, yes,, has that be resolved? [12:29] ok so then i'll do this for sdc and sdb [12:30] and then it's finished ? [12:30] sklorpion, ah cool [12:30] fooman2011: reboot after that (makes it clean) and your disks should re-add [12:30] fooman2011: you shouldn't need to do any of it, but it's being very odd [12:30] ok and md127 will dispaears ? [12:30] coz_: yeah just after changing irc.*.* to chat.*.* - donno why but im happy i did it. And thank for your time :-) [12:30] fooman2011: correct [12:30] very well [12:31] sklorpion, glad its working now :) and no problem,, I dont think I helped that much :) [12:31] ikonia: thank you and see you after a long time to check it :) [12:31] so, I installed ubuntu 11.04. The first thing i do is setting the screen resolution right. But now there's some kind of fuziness on my screen.. [12:31] fooman2011: I'm not going anywhere [12:31] ok :) === necreo_ is now known as necreo [12:32] fooman2011: if the raid is still running you should stop it before doing anything with the underlying disk [12:32] fooman2011: the array is stopped [12:32] and it's not necessary to zero the entire device just to set up a new raid or whatever it is you're trying to do [12:32] lol thank you [12:32] coz_: you did, i rememer years ago when after jonning some help chans on irc you could get only two answers - RTFM! and google.com ... Man you are the one that changes this :-) glad that you are so opend for helping ppl :] [12:33] why is 1104 so slow? [12:33] sklorpion, ah yes I remember those days :) [12:33] frostshutz: i think we have already tried this [12:33] is raping my computer [12:33] ( not my question ) [12:34] ikonia: is the any way to see the progression of the operation ? [12:34] ikonia: or i just have to get the cursor back in the terminal ? [12:34] I installed a couple things (zend and virtualbox ose) threw ubuntu software center and i cant find them [12:34] fooman2011: not really, howver you can use iostat 5 to see how busy it is [12:34] im on ubuntu 32 11.04 [12:34] fooman2011: progress of dd: killall -SIGUSR1 dd [12:35] Success: because your hardware is slow? [12:35] i said ignore that [12:35] how can i disable the splash screen on 10.04? [12:35] and 10.10 was extremely fast [12:35] fooman2011: deleting an entire hard disk will take a couple hours depending on speed and size of the disk... [12:36] blink: you mean the Plymouth animation, after grub.. befor the GDM screen? [12:36] 7200 1To [12:36] i think 1 hour per idsk [12:36] "disk" [12:37] see you in 3 hours so :) [12:37] uh, if you want to overwrite several disks, you can run several instances of dd in parallel [12:37] it's possible ? [12:37] dont forget teh bs= option to dd [12:37] hola, am attempting to show open WAN ports on nmap, though am having problems with the Server connecting to a primary Server [12:38] fooman2011: it's also completely unnecessary if your only goal is setting up a raid. a disk doesn't have to be overwritten just for that; so whatever problem you're having, the dd is probably not going to solve it [12:39] frostschutz: i'm a newbie [12:39] I want to install ubuntu, I'm running the ubuntu windows installer, I plugged in an extra hard disk, will ubuntu use the entire hard disk? [12:39] frostschutz: i'm listening ikonia [12:39] (I want it to use the entire hard disk, but it gives me weird options like use size 7GB) [12:39] aight, I'll shut up now [12:39] Hello great people of Ubuntu, i came to request great advice from your eternal knowledge [12:40] frostschutz: i mean maybe you can discuss about this with him [12:40] frostschutz: we have tried a lot of thing before this operation [12:40] Alexanderos: the installer should allow you to select the entire disk. make sure you select the right one though :) [12:41] Alexanderos : you'll be prompted on where and how ubuntu will be installed [12:41] Alexanderos: at least the live cd installer does, not sure about the windows installer [12:41] http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/5/14707392492-orig.png [12:41] made a screenshot [12:41] So, heres my question, its a bit off topic but i hope you guys are gonna be able to give me your advice [12:41] http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/5/14707392492-orig.png [12:41] Dr_Willis|2: the animated ubuntu loading screen. I want to remove that and display the text dos-like boot. [12:41] how do you exit vi [12:41] editor [12:42] escape > :q [12:42] @TopGear - are you still on a livecd or do you have ubuntu installed [12:42] its better to install from liveUSB? [12:42] then windows insatller? [12:42] than* [12:43] (Don't have CD/DVD drive) [12:43] Alexanderos: if you want ubuntu to sit on a disk, and you want to be able to choose between windows / ubuntu when you turn on the machine, yes use the live cd / usb [12:44] I would like it to start up in windows by default [12:44] im using ubuntu since 4 or 5 years now, its been great. i just got my old desktop back and it needs to be running windows, ill instal ubuntu as well on it, but i'll also need windows.. is windows 7 easely crackable ? what version is the most stable up to date and takes the less memory? [12:44] http://bit.ly/ffrOTm [12:45] Alexanderos, you'll be able to put windows as the default os easily once you have installed everything [12:45] is it at all possible to compile and use programs that use GTK 1.x?

[12:47] anybody comprehend the way to prove WAN ports open? [12:47] no problems ! [12:47] Jmoey, it's weird. I'm trying to figure out why I can't get through on port 80. A port check tool online says it doesn't see me on port 80, but if ubuntu is open, and my itnernet service says 80 should be open on the router, where's the hangup? Could it be closed on the router? [12:47] im really not that enthusiastic about installing windows again [12:48] kajakajo: are you hosting a webserver or just trying to get internet [12:48] doc-donkey, windows 7 is actually really decent, even from a linux user's point of view. [12:48] kajakajo: have you tried nmap to your own pc? [12:48] doc-donkey, probably you'll be happy running windows in a virtual machine [12:48] Hi, I'm trying to configure ppp / pptpd to authenticate through RADIUS. without RADIUS auth the connection succeeds. I don't see packets going to the radius server that I have configured. Any idea how to troubleshoot why pppd doesn't call out to radius? [12:48] personally, i think win7 is a kde4 ripoff [12:48] Jmoey, I'm trying to access the virtual webserver I just got on amazon. MonkeyDust I don't know what nmap is. [12:49] got through amazon web service (aws)* [12:49] kajakajo nmap is a port scanner [12:49] install zenmap for a gui (kajakajo) [12:49] kajakajo: try nmap 127.0.0.1 === tor is now known as Guest4938 [12:49] installing [12:49] Dr_Willis|2: I am doing this for my laptop.

[12:51] 631 is the only one listed [12:51] it's open, tcp ipp [12:51] does that mean it's the only open port? [12:51] what is theeqvalent package for macro media flash(not flash player)/ [12:51] kajakajo: what about port 80, in nmap [12:51] Hello, I have a quick question, TRIM is only on the 2.6.33 kernel right? [12:51] how do I check that? nmap port 80? [12:52] kajakajo: yes [12:52] i mean that port is closed (kajakajo) [12:52] it didn't liked that. === Guest4938 is now known as Tor_ [12:52] 'failed to resolve given hostname/port' [12:52] ok, how can I open it?

End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [12:55] perhaps they finally cleaned it out? === Lekensteyn is now known as Guest30243 [12:55] yeah and dapper still remains on the server^^ [12:55] !dapper [12:55] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support will end in June 2011. See !upgrade for upgrade instructions [12:55] dapper was much cooler. :) [12:55] kajakajo, you shouldn't need port 80 on your client, just on your server [12:55] I thoguth they all got moved to some EOL server. [12:55] Dr_Willis|2, cooler than what? [12:56] archive.ubuntu.com sounds to me like that [12:56] a Dapper duck is much cooler then a Jaunty Jackapope :) Ducks in Tophats - beats rabbits with antlers. [12:57] Jmoey, this is my first time doing this, so perhaps I misunderstood... Could I show you the quick start guide and get your help? Supposedly my server should be up, but I type in the public DNS and I don't get access [12:57] BigWookie: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [12:57] Dr_Willis|2: found it. I did 'sudo nano /etc/default/grub'. now how can i save and exit ;/ [12:57] Hi all [12:58] MonkeyDust: whoat thy [12:58] *whoa [12:58] blink ctrl + 0 for save and ctrl + w for exit [12:58] and yes I know it's outdated and I shouldnt use...

[12:59] kajakajo: show me the guide and i'll se what i can do [12:59] eb3ha4el: i do it all the time. I can run the whole ubuntu OS from an exteranl hd [12:59] hey I am facing a problem with update manager it gives this error message can anyone help me on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/614148/ [12:59] Jmoey, is it safe to type the public DNS here? Will that be ok, or should I do it privately? [12:59] Dr_Willis I2: thanks [12:59] why bb [13:00] http://bitnami.org/tutorials/amazon_machine_images%20 Jmoey [13:00] kajakajo: this channel is logged and everyone is able to check logs with a browser [13:01] kajakajo:http://bitnami.org/tutorials/amazon_machine_images [13:01] kajakajo: [13:01] The page you were looking for doesn't exist. [13:01] You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved. [13:01] Jmoey, is that a question? [13:02] http://bitnami.org/tutorials/amazon_machine_images [13:02] sorry don't know why the lines overflowed [13:02] ok thanks [13:02] that opens ok [13:02] sorry [13:03] kajakajo, make sure you have http open [13:03] I didn't see this at first, so I did it all just figuring it out, but didn't do the security groups step. When I later went to check it, I don't see the options I see on that page. I can't assess how important it is, and it seems to me that it should work anyways. Only thing I'm not sure about is port 80. [13:03] How do I check if port 80 is open? [13:03] That's exactly how I got started on this. [13:03] by defualt theres NO closed ports [13:03] kajakajo:http://bitnami.org/images/amazon_guide/ami_38.png?1304527706 [13:04] kajakajo:you should be able to select it from the list [13:04] theres just nothing listening on port 80 by defalt unless you instal a web server kajakajo [13:04] Right. So, Security groups just doesn't show such a list. It doesn't look exactly like that. I do see "default" as the only one under the top menu 'name', but clicking on it shows a lower menu that's slightly different. Should I stop my instance and start from scratch again, and maybe it would change? [13:05] Hey I am facing a problem with update manager it gives this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/614148/ .Can anyone help me on this ?? [13:05] Or is there some way to change the ports actively? Dr_Willis|2 what do you mean? [13:05] Dr_Willis|2, from what I understand, I did just install a webserver. [13:07] bluelf: try booting in recovery modus, it shows you some options === paissad_ is now known as paissad [13:08] MonkeyDust, oki [13:10] frostschutz: how's it looking ? [13:10] fooman2011: how's it looking [13:10] frostschutz: sorry, not you, typo === uri is now known as windows === Cain` is now known as Cain [13:17] Howdy === HammerTiem is now known as DavidDavidson|Of === DavidDavidson|Of is now known as HammerTiem [13:19] Jmoey, Dr_Willis|2 so the menu is different now, and it allows me to add an inbound 'rule'. It lets you pick the protocol, and then has a box, which it wants you to fill in based on this template: " 192.168.2.0/24". Is that supposed to be my IP address followed by the port in question? [13:19] kajakajo: That's not a port, that's some range thing, not sure how they work [13:20] theadmin, any info I could give you that would help you figure it out? [13:21] kajakajo, that's an IP range allowed by the file [13:21] kajakajo: Nah, you'd best ask someone else [13:21] hi folks, I just tried to setup rotating cube desktop changer on unity using compizconfig-settings-manager [13:21] ad it lost its title bar [13:21] anuvrat, ok and compiz crashed ...yes? [13:21] seems so [13:21] anuvrat, ok open ccsm [13:21] coz_, actually everything crashed [13:22] BluesKaj, can you explain that more? What should I put there to make it accessible when I type the DNS into my browser? [13:22] system freezes [13:22] anuvrat, right [13:22] coz_, system freezes [13:22] anuvrat: Run "compiz --replace &disown" in any terminal you can get to [13:22] no terminal accessible theadmin, will have to restart [13:22] So I install cmus [13:22] press "ctrl + alt +t" [13:22] kajakajo: not sure, you may be able to add * to allow access to all clients [13:22] and I get this error [13:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/614156/ [13:23] theadmin, coz_ actuall its another system [13:23] if you haven't changed it, it is the default shortcut to open a terminal [13:23] kajakajo, pls expalin what you're trying todo, I just arrived , so I don't know your circumstances. [13:23] anuvrat, ok open ccsm,, disable Desktop wall,, then enable desktop cube , rotate cube, and viewport switcher,,, then enable unity plugin ,,if ANY conflic dialog oens "Ignore" it [13:23] anuvrat: Not Ubuntu? [13:23] what do I do? [13:23] obviously its ubuntu 11.04 [13:23] why would i be posting here ;) [13:24] coz_, okay let me try [13:24] anuvrat, I have cube running fine on Unity so it is indeed possible,, and this behavior will not be premanent,, it is being looked into [13:24] anuvrat, previously the cube was not even possible on Unity [13:24] BluesKaj, I'm trying set up a server for the first time. It's an Amazon web services server, and it's a preset image, vps I guess. I'm pretty newb, and I don't know their internal system... Thought I had it setup, but when I tried to type in the public DNS, I can't find it. Here's the quickstart guide I'm following: http://bitnami.org/tutorials/amazon_machine_images [13:24] The menu has changed, however, on the security groups page. === No_one_ZNC is now known as No_one_at_ZNC [13:24] instead it gives me a list of services, and then a box to enter a variable in the form mentioned above. [13:25] coz_, if its so then tell me the procedure to reset it to the way it was [13:25] 0.0.0.0/0 [13:25] anuvrat, set compiz /unity to defaults you mean? [13:25] " (e.g., 192.168.2.0/24, sg-47ad482e, or 1234567890/default)" === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [13:25] coz_, yes, because it belongs to a person new to Ubuntu and i was gonna try and impress him with compiz [13:26] coz_, I should better get it back lest it have the opposite effect [13:26] anuvrat, resetting to defaults is easy,, just open ccsm click on "Preferences" and hit the "reset to defaults button" [13:26] for instance, "1234567890/default", would that allow all access? [13:26] coz_, ah.. why didn't that click in my mind , [13:27] anuvrat, :) you could manually do it also but the reset button is far easier [13:27] kajakajo, oops that's somewhat beyong my scope...I thiught you were setting up dns and IP ranges internally [13:28] I can't find shared folders in Virtualbox :S [13:28] Using Windows 7 as guest [13:28] Tor_: Install the guest additions. [13:29] Where do I find it? === NG_ is now known as ng_ [13:29] Tor_: Ugh... In the VM, Devices -> Install VirtualBox Guest Additions [13:29] kajakajo: are you editing hosts.allow and hosts.deny files? [13:29] coz_, now the person has done something stupid and I can't find compizconfig-settings-manager in the applications menu, nor can I invoke it from the terminal [13:30] anuvrat, ccsm [13:30] coz_, upon firing apt-get install for compizconfig settings manager, it says that it is already isntalled [13:30] anuvrat, just hit alt+F2 ccsm or in terminal [13:30] I am now created an live USB, if I boot from this USB, install ubuntu on my 2nd harddisk, will I be able to read my windows files from ubuntu, and my ubuntu files from windows? [13:30] Alexanderos: Yes, no. [13:31] um, what channel should I go for problems related to building computer? [13:31] ah [13:31] Alexanderos: Windows can't access Linux filesystems, but the opposite is possible [13:31] sahip: #hardware [13:31] coz_, thats fine okay [13:31] coz_, but there is nothing like reset to defaults visible [13:31] silly windows :< [13:31] theadmin: how can I get myself invited in there? [13:31] any last advice before I boot and install ubuntu? [13:31] theadmin: So I install Virtualbox in Windows first? Can't find it there.. Installed the host program [13:32] i'd like to do two things in Firefox and Thunderbird: make the user interface fonts respect the system hinting and size settings, and make them use the global menu. how do i go about that?

Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [13:32] anuvrat, just above the big "Close" button bottom left, and just above advanced search is Preferences [13:32] BluesKaj well, it's not so important, just tell me what those numbers meant, and how i can set them so that any computer (or at least my computer) can access them... That within your scope? [13:32] Alexanderos: Read then re-read the ubuntu article on setting up a dual boot [13:32] alexandros: make sure u got cable eth0 [13:32] oh, i forgot - on 10.04 [13:32] hola, am attempting to configure the system to do "Loopback" [13:32] Tor_: Um, no. In the virutal machine window, open the "Devices" menu and find "Install VirtualBox Guest Additions" [13:32] Alexanderos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [13:32] theadmin: Will try [13:32] can I install gnome 3 I tried It early but failed unity cashed [13:33] coz_, the order from bottom is close button advanced search, preferences than a host of optoins of category and then filter [13:33] lucky105: apt-get install gnome-shell [13:33] coz_, isn't there a command line way for this , it would be much more easy that way [13:33] anuvrat, click the word "Preferences" [13:33] I don't have a windows recovery disk [13:33] theadmin: Did it :D Thank you!!! [13:33] I don't even have a disk drive! [13:33] anuvrat, inside you will see "Reset to defaults" button [13:33] theadmin: not in Natty [13:34] yup found it [13:34] thanks [13:34] LjL: Oh? [13:34] Alexanderos: most typically do not anymore. [13:34] theadmin: GNOME Shell is not there in Natty, you need a PPA which however does break Unity [13:35] Alexanderos: Does your system have a hidden partition on which the recovery disk image is located? [13:35] LjL: Oh. That kinda sucks. [13:35] I want to install ubuntu on a 2nd hard disk [13:35] can anybody assist with "Loopback" configuration?

[13:36] Can anyone tell me exactly what these numbers are in the context of server HTTP access settings, and what I should insert as this variable in its place to allow myself access to said server? "0.0.0.0/0" " 192.168.2.0/24" "sg-47ad482e" or "1234567890/default" [13:36] Alexanderos: Irrelevant, you still will have to overwrite the MBR on the first disk in order to set up a dual boot, that or have a means of bypassing the windows MBR [13:37] master boot record, ah [13:37] the variable is called "source" under "inbound rules". [13:37] And the reason having a recovery disk for windows is important is in case the MBR overwrite goes awry. [13:37] well if unbuntu overwrites the windows MBR I have no way to recover it I guess [13:37] Alexanderos: There's no need [13:37] Alexanderos: You can create recovery disks for your windows install if you have a CD/dvd burner and blank media [13:38] In fact, it's highly recommended. [13:38] I don't have [13:38] coz_, all was fine .. after a restart the panel is gone :P [13:38] not even a reader [13:38] Extra USB thumb drive? [13:38] anuvrat, oh so you need to re enable the Unity plugin probably [13:38] Yes, of course [13:39] anuvrat, if that's the case choose " Ignore" if a conflict dialog appears [13:39] the desktop panel is gone coz_ [13:39] anuvrat, you mean the big Launcher? [13:39] coz_, everything [13:39] o0 [13:39] coz_, only the wallpaper is visible [13:40] anuvrat, in terminal unity --replace & disown [13:40] kajakajo, 192.168.2.0/24 is an IP range of addresses, the 0.0..... looks like an example of dns entries like google primary dns is 8.8.8.8 ..I'm not impressed with the expalation offered on that page ..looks like it's written for IT guys [13:41] BluesKaj, yeah... How do I indicate it should be open to my IP? [13:41] Alexanderos: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-repair-windows-7-from-usb-flash-drive-repair-without-installation-dvd-disc/ [13:41] anuvrat, if that doesnt work in terminal try compiz --replace & disown [13:42] yes, doing this atm :) [13:42] coz_, on unity, alt+f2 is also not working, how do I get to a terminal ?? [13:42] coz_, tried the command on ubuntu classic, didn't change anything [13:42] BluesKaj, from what I understand, this is the settings to tell the server who to allow access. I could set all possible IPs open from HTTP, and then browsers would request HTTP access from their IPs and be allowed. I should be able, I guess, to just set my IP. And that I want port 80 (HTTP) and SSH (22?), and then ahve access... Just don't know how to use this variable properly. :( [13:42] anuvrat, are you on Unity or classic right now? [13:43] Jmoey, see above [13:43] coz_, he switched on classic [13:43] coz_, things seem to be working fine [13:43] Alexanderos: Down at the bottom you have the option of following http://www.intowindows.com/download-windows-7-recovery-disc-now/ to download the ISO instead of creating an intermediate DVD [13:43] ok, am attempting to connect a local Server instance to a Exterior Robust Server & WAN ports prove closed [13:43] coz_, I am suggesting him to stay with classic for a while [13:43] anuvrat, ok open ccsm in classic and set up the cube,, then log off and onto Unity,,, then open ccsm again,, make sure the Uubunt unity plugin is enabled, if not enable it and choose "Ignore" conflicts [13:44] anuvrat, if he is new to ubuntu classic is fine,, however eventually he will need to deal with Unity [13:44] coz_, how do I open anything in unity when even Alt+F2 is not working? [13:44] * theadmin will never want to deal with Unity or gnome3 again [13:45] anuvrat, if you hit the ubuntu symbol in the upper left corner it s hould open a search type in terminal then click on it's icon [13:47] kajakajo Is this helpful? http://cloud-computing.learningtree.com/2010/09/24/understanding-amazon-ec2-security-groups-and-firewalls/ [13:47] rationalOgre, that looks promising, I'll check. Thanks [13:47] well , just enabling unity plugin in classic mode and then switching it to unity seems to have solved the issue [13:47] coz_, well , just enabling unity plugin in classic mode and then switching it to unity seems to have solved the issue [13:47] coz_, fewh [13:47] coz_, I was afraid that I have repelled an Ubuntu adopter :P [13:48] coz_, compiz had the opposite effect .. lolz [13:48] anuvrat, yeah ,, at the moment the cube settings in Unity causes a bit of a hurdle ,, that wont be the case later ont :) [13:49] coz_, till then I am not going to try and impress anybody with compiz and desktop rotating cube :P [13:49] coz_, thanks for your help [13:49] kajakajo, port 22 is the ssh default port, http is 80 , usually afaik , if you have a dynamic IP then amazon must have an IP tracker app available for you to install on your server [13:50] anuvrat, well once its set it should be fine,,, but I understand,, and of course you can always revert to classic [13:50] where should I look for wifi log? I'm in installer and it's not connecting to wifi WEP network, I'd like to see why [13:50] anddam: Somewhere around /var/log, for sure [13:50] theadmin: that I figured :-) [13:51] kajakajo, IP tracker aka dns server [13:51] what's superuser password in installer? [13:51] anddam: The root password isn't used in ubuntu, please use sudo. [13:52] ah ubuntu user is in sudoer with ALL [13:52] theadmin: just noticed [13:52] anddam: Weird right? xD [13:53] Could always sudo su if you really wanted to. [13:53] hehe [13:53] rationalOgre, you are amazing. Thank you so much, that was exactly what I needed. Have it running now. [13:53] rationalOgre: meh, "sudo -i" is da way [13:53] kajakajo: You're welcome. [13:53] rationalOgre: But you can always "sudo passwd root" as well [13:53] theadmin: it's really system dependent, I remember there is a system against the usage of sudo [13:54] theadmin: setting a root password is not something discussed on this channel. [13:54] anddam: Gentoo? [13:54] maybe FreeBSD or Gentoo [13:54] mneptok: Okay, sorry [13:54] anyway [13:54] rationalOgre, you always were a rational ogre. [13:54] theadmin: in the grand scheme of problems in this world, that was hardly something that required any kind of apology. ;) [13:55] mneptok: ...wut? [13:55] theadmin: "apology unnecessary" [13:55] mneptok: No need to get phylosophical on me xD [13:56] anyone here know anything about plan 9? or where channels For plan 9 are? thanks [13:56] !alis | Leeds26m [13:56] Leeds26m: 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. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* [13:57] !alis [13:57] Leeds26m, /msg alis list *plan9* [13:57] Don't mind me, I'm just testing out irrsi [13:58] jnixx: goooood [13:58] theadmin: yeah, it is pretty good [13:59] jnixx: My main and only client :D [13:59] hi all help me how do that in boot time system show me booting result [13:59] advice needed, I am thinking of switching from Centos to Ubuntu Server. We run a WebDAV setup the partition for the webdav storage is /common. Would it be better to have this under some other partition? if so where? [14:00] theadmin: syslog helped, probably wireless chipset isn't supported [14:00] Atheros AR9285 [14:00] johna: consult `man hier` for the correct location for locations [14:00] anddam: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k [14:00] Testing over for now, will return sometime in the near future when I actually have something to say! [14:00] checking, thanks [14:02] AR9285 (>= 2.6.29) , install kernel is 2.6.38 so that should be fine [14:02] hi folks. i'm trying, for the first time, to compile a simple C program on Ubuntu using gcc. It works just fine on my Mac, but on Ubuntu, i'm getting these errors: http://dpaste.org/UNuW/. The first few lines of the code are here: http://dpaste.org/GKzO/ [14:02] is there an ubuntu package for that driver? [14:02] is there something more i need to apt-get install for this compile to work?

[14:03] greek, broken how [14:03] greek, is this unity or classic btw [14:03] here is what happened [14:03] greek: superglue and be more careful when mowing the lawn? [14:03] :D [14:04] greek, a single line please [14:04] ok.. in a single line [14:04] theadmin: it's already loaded, gnome menubar show the wireless icon, the point is NetworkManager can't connect to WEP network [14:04] anddam: *shrug* get wicd? [14:04] theadmin: neverheard [14:05] anddam: It's a wireless/ethernet network manager for GTK [14:05] anddam: you sure the router is setup to accept connections from the netbook? (i.e. no mac filtering or such) [14:05] no filterin, I connected other devices this very morning [14:05] no password typo [14:06] hello..does anybody here know why the " modem hung up the phone exit code=16" comes when i try to connect using wvdial?? [14:06] anddam: Do try wicd, it's often the only networkmanager that connects to wireless thingies [14:06] theadmin: how does it do the magic? [14:06] i have been running kubuntu. i decided to give gnome a run. using kpackagekit , i selected ubuntu-desktop and all of its dependents were downloaded. then , during the installation, it froze at 71%. i decided to restart the computer. it booted up into gnome. then it crashed. i do not know how to fix my gnome install. any questions ? bazhang [14:06] and I need to connect to a cable (not available here) in order to install it [14:07] unless wicd is on install cd [14:07] anddam: You can get the package from packages.ubuntu.com anytime [14:07] greek, all the packages were downloaded and it was configuring? [14:07] hello..does anybody here know why the " modem hung up the phone exit code=16" comes when i try to connect using wvdial?? [14:08] !repeat | thangavel [14:08] thangavel: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [14:08] thangavel, dont repeat so quickly please [14:08] it looks like for some reason my "#define" isn't being recognized when it's being used in a function. why might that be? [14:08] greek: could you boot in Recovery mode (GRUB menu) and run sudo apt-get upgrade, it should continue where is stopped [14:08] mgeary: Uh... How is *that* an ubuntu question? [14:08] : sorry..i won't do again.. [14:09] theadmin: well, it works on my mac, but doesn't work on Ubuntu. I'm trying to figure out what else might need to be installed to make it work [14:09] i assumed there were at least some people here with GCC-on-Ubuntu experience [14:09] mgeary: Well, uh, a C/C++ compiler should be the only thing you need [14:09] mgeary: most likely a platform dependent ifdef [14:09] mgeary: what is #define? a channel? [14:09] mgeary: could you post your code on paste.ubuntu.com? [14:10] MonkeyDust: it defines a macro [14:10] Lekensteyn: one sec [14:10] MonkeyDust: A C/C++ statement to define a shortcut of sorts. Like #define PI 3.14 [14:10] Lekensteyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614172/ [14:10] anddam: Doesn't appear that it is on the 11.04 dvd [14:10] it's generated C-code from a stats program [14:11] mgeary: maybe you can ask in #ubuntu-devel, then [14:11] rationalOgre: I somehow thought I couldn't install without an internet connection, I'll just install from iso image for now [14:11] mgeary: what define does not work? [14:11] anddam: have you 'dmesg | grep -i network' to see if you can spot any messages from NetworkManager? === tchanphysics is now known as being [14:11] Lekensteyn: this is my error output: http://dpaste.org/UNuW/ [14:11] rationalOgre: nope, I've been reading syslog [14:11] anddam: It say anything?

[14:15] whats up [14:15] rationalOgre: the kernel says that AP denied authentication (status 13) [14:15] I can see the MAC of the AP [14:15] but there isn't any limit on the AP [14:16] goodday, people [14:16] has there been any more word on this whole next kernel release being 2.8/3.0? [14:16] Trying a LLC NULL packet [14:16] lost my wifi connection, using another now [14:16] giantbadger, not on topic here [14:16] Lekensteyn: Yep I had already read the FHS, and the logical place seemed to be either "roll your own" or /srv. If I use /srv am I liable to get stepped on by an Ubuntu server/service? [14:17] irado: Not really, but hello anyway [14:17] what did i miss and what did you miss bazhang ? [14:17] suddenly my XUbuntu (10.10) sound goes off and refuses to be on - cannot enable sound. Trying many times with alsamixer and others, no results. Any hint? [14:17] theadmin: LOL [14:17] i thought kernel releases were supposed to be predictable [14:17] sorry phone 2mins [14:18] bazhang: ? i was disconnected [14:18] 2.7 next for dev purposes then 2.8 [14:18] greek_, is this download finished and configuring packages? [14:18] ok, now i know what you missed bazhang [14:18] irado: Well, check that your audio system (ALSA, PulseAudio, OSS (does anyone even use OSS these days?)) is running. [14:19] i have been running kubuntu. i decided to give gnome a run. using kpackagekit , i selected ubuntu-desktop and all of its dependents were downloaded. then , during the installation, it froze at 71%. i decided to restart the computer. it booted up into gnome. then it crashed. i do not know how to fix my gnome install. any questions ? bazhang [14:19] when i ran kpackagekit again it said i had to run a command in teminal before it would cooperate with me. i did as requested, and kpackagekit no longer complains. however, it reports gnome is installed. also ... i have attemtped to uninstall and reinstall gnome... i suspect some of its dependencies were nt configured or installed correctly or completely [14:19] anddam: everything I keep seeing during research is coming up with "woops, I had mac filtering on my AP" :( [14:19] kubuntu? [14:19] ---that is all you missed bazhang [14:19] i need some help, ubuntu kinda died yesterday when i was doing a restart. i ran the recovery mode and it kept popping up things about a "drdy err", im on a livedisk on the same computer right now and i cant mount the drive due to the daemon being inhibited [14:20] greek_, I saw all that, try to enter recovery mode and fix there [14:20] what do i do in recovery mode ? bazhang ? [14:20] greek_: pacman -Syyu, err, apt-get upgrade [14:21] thanks [14:21] * greek_ gets a pen and writes this down :D [14:21] hi [14:21] greek_: Ignore the first command, just apt-get upgrade. [14:21] ok bazhang [14:21] greek_: I'm not an Ubuntu user so my "usual" commands are a bit different [14:21] I am trying to start with a bootable USB but 11.04 kind of crashes I get an "initramfs" prompt [14:21] rationalOgre: I don't, this is actually "internet sharing" options of OS X and I've been connecting with several devices, including another notebook, iphone, ipad and android devices [14:21] greek_: likely you will need sudo apt-get upgrade [14:21] with both amd64 and 32bit version [14:22] SET USER DO ? is that what sudo is short for ? bazhang ? [14:22] rationalOgre: actually there isn't an easy way to set MAC address filtering without fiddling with ipfw [14:22] greek_: Switch User and DO [14:22] greek_: AFAIR [14:22] hello, guys, i'm experiencing strange thing after running sudo apt-get update in 11.04. http://pastebin.com/MLDcyEmN [14:22] anddam: Hrm, ok.

[14:25] no_idea: can't you even do something like "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt"? [14:25] no_idea, Can I get a screenshot of that? [14:25] tried [14:25] ok [14:25] i'd like to do two things in Firefox and Thunderbird on 10.04: make the user interface fonts respect the system hinting and size settings, and make them use the global menu. how do i go about that? [14:25] einseenai apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [14:25] Does anyone know of a good program to draw tactical signs and organizational charts? [14:26] vibhav: where would i post screenshots, btw? [14:26] no_idea: imagebin.org or imm.io [14:26] thanks [14:26] nicofs: Perhaps you want to ask that on http://askubuntu.com/ [14:26] no_idea: or imgur.com or ... well any image site [14:26] nicofs: i don't know what a tactical sign is, but i think Dia is most used for charts [14:28] LjL, military... like so... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/1st_Marine_Expeditionary_Force.png [14:28] seems this ASUS notebook has a linux Express Gate install builtin [14:29] i wonder if it's on recovery dvd and if it is any good [14:29] Greetings!

[14:29] nicofs: http://live.gnome.org/Dia [14:30] anddam: If I recall mine was not on recovery dvd. back it up before you delete it [14:30] nicofs: Similar to MS Visio [14:30] I can't find a way to load my bookmarks.html file on 11.04 [14:30] hmuller: but how do you start it? I mean I only see freedos at boot [14:30] rationalOgre, i use that - but i would have to create every sign from scratch... [14:30] rationalOgre: Arch is, well, rational :D [14:30] anddam: which model do you have? [14:30] theadmin: vibhav: http://imagebin.org/155605 [14:30] P50IJ [14:31] no_idea: Specify the mount-point explicitly, like sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [14:31] \server openjoke.irc [14:31] well nicofs i can't seem to find a set ready to be used in Dia, but perhaps http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Tactical_signs could be of use [14:32] theadmin: I like Arch, one single installation taught me more about Linux then 20 ubuntu installs. No offense to Ubuntu, but it is "opaque" when trying to "get under the hood". [14:32] rationalOgre: I know right xD PM me and we can continue that [14:32] theadmin: not sure what you mean [14:32] rationalOgre: Cause it's very offtopic [14:32] no_idea: You mount devices to some folder [14:32] no_idea: That's called a "mount-point" [14:32] no_idea: the syntax of the mount command is: mount DEVICE MOUNTPOINT [14:33] anddam: does your model come with the express gate hotkey button? [14:33] can I install a .deb package from a url in one step? wget http://example.com/mypkg.deb | dpkg -i [14:33] hmuller: nope, I'm reading the interweb and they talk about this button, this notebook doesn't have it but I see a partition has express gate on it [14:34] bencc: try wget http://example.com/pkg.deb -O - | dpkg -i - [14:34] bencc: i don't think dpkg supports stdin, so you'd need to do something like (not tested) dpkg -i <(wget -O - http://blah) [14:34] LjL, because all these signs are modular i had hoped there was some program where i could just combine pre-existing sets instead of creating all myself... [14:34] When I open files in the default movie player for Ubuntu it always resizes the file width and height to 2:1 instead of 1:1 [14:34] How can I fix this? [14:34] bencc: nope, does not work [14:34] hmuller: there are two fat32 partition, one 200 and the other 300GB (madness) [14:34] anddam: Does the manual mention a specific key combination to start express gate? [14:34] So it does it automatically.. [14:35] LjL: trying [14:35] hmuller: I should check the manual, I never thought I'd have needed a manual to use a notebook but these are hard days [14:35] anddam: if they included the express gate partition (only about 100MB) there should be a way to start it === ng_ is now known as NG_ [14:36] anddam: although I do not use it much, I kept the express gate partition to learn more about splashtop [14:37] theadmin: where do i put a mount point folder?

So run this: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [14:38] LjL: "dpkg -i < wget ..." gives me: wget No such file or directory [14:39] bencc: that's not what i said :P [14:39] bencc: dpkg -i <( wget http://blah/file.dpkg -O - ) [14:39] bencc: install it using the apt get [14:40] sudo [14:40] LjL: shouldn't `wget http://example/dd.deb -O - | dpkg -i ` work too then? [14:40] hungryhubby: apt-get won't install local packages [14:40] Lekensteyn: no, dpkg doesn't want stdin [14:40] LjL: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [14:40] theadmin: it says its mounted, now how do i get to it? [14:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/614182/ <--- I was wondering if those errors had to do with my usb controller not being plugged in [14:40] bencc: you've probably forgot the "<" [14:41] Running qemu-system-x86_64 Win7 VM, and cannot get smooth audio, any tips?

[14:45] no_idea: no idea. [14:45] tried editing xorg.conf file [14:45] was my ? about zsnes innapropriate? [14:45] no_idea: You asked how to mount the drive, I said [14:45] everytime it says new file [14:46] exit [14:46] hmuller: firmware update says "2.Restore hidden partition type when pressing F9 and system is abnormal shutdown" but probably it's not worth it to flash and spend time for such a system [14:46] bazhang: it reported that no update was required... anything else i can do to fix gnome ? [14:46] hmuller: I mean I'm going install ubuntu anyway [14:46] bencc: uhm yeah dpkg probably wants to be able to read the whole file in advance. just do something like "$File=$(mktemp); wget -O $File http://blah/; sudo dpkg -i $File; rm $File" === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === NG_ is now known as ng_ [14:47] lolo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac [14:47] hi [14:47] bencc: except don't put the $ in the first command, just File=....

(check your BIOS settings) [14:52] disk1 [14:52] I can change it [14:52] to disk2 [14:52] maybe that will fix it [14:52] no_idea: you have the same problem I have with one of my disks, google "seagate bsy bug" [14:52] no_idea: There is a fix for the problem, but you have to build a special cable [14:53] retated question: does any one know how to fix a gnome that will not boot. [14:53] wessel: if not, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#SIMPLEST%20-%20Copy%20GRUB%202%20Files%20from%20the%20LiveCD [14:53] greek: [14:53] hmuller: special? how special? [14:53] hmuller: [14:54] greek: that's not an helpful question, you should paste the actual error as you can read it in system's log or Xorg's log [14:54] hmm, yes that works :-/ [14:54] greek: Try opening a recovery root console (grub boot), then run gdm at the root prompt, see if that works [14:54] wessel: can you boot in both OSes? [14:54] It boots ubuntu [14:54] now gonna try win7 [14:54] good luck [14:54] no_idea: you have to order stuff off the internet and have soldering skills and small torx screwdrivers [14:54] hi folks [14:54] hi sulo_ [14:55] hmuller: cant just re-case the drive? [14:55] no_idea: no, the bug is in the firmware on the drive. replacing the card on the drive will not work either. [14:55] lol, it goes from grub, to windows bootmanager, and then it boots windows 7 [14:56] how can i make 3d acceleration work in wine? i installed directx 9 and stuff but all i get is some rectangles where graphics and stuff should be. [14:56] booooooooo [14:56] i've got a small problem.. i', trying to install ubuntu on my Laptop... it has already win7 installed and i wanted to make the win7 partition smaller and install ubuntu on the free space... but when i start gparted it shows me my entire HDD as "unallocated"... any ideas on that? [14:56] wessel: that's expected, it's called chainloading. [14:56] no_idea: I have all the parts but still have to build the cable. So I haven't done the fix yet but I expect it will work [14:57] anddam: it is basicly a failed install of ubuntu desktop. kpackagekit reports it installed after the incedent. however. the install proccess when like this; downloaed all dependencies of ubuntu-desktop, installed and froze at 71%. manual retsart and booted into gnome. gnome crashed. booted into kde. every attmept to boot into gnome fails to load gnome and returns to log in screen. when gnome does (rarely) load. it will crash (as in freeze) [14:57] sulo_: never heard of such an error, have you something like Bitlocker enabled? [14:57] greek: re-install gnome [14:57] hmuller: writing that down as a possable option, thanks [14:58] Lekensteyn, nope... i've got win 7 prof .. there is no bitlocker in it... i've got an ssd drive.. but i dont think that this is the problem [14:58] no_idea: my seagate drive was in a maxtor central access fileserver [14:58] LjL: thanks it works. didn't know about $(mktemp) [14:58] no_idea: I thought the device died, but it was the seagate drive [14:58] theadmin: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/660864 [14:58] Ubuntu bug 660864 in linux (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu 10.10 Atheros AR9285 Wireless disconnects ( atl1c )" [Undecided,Incomplete] [14:58] sulo_: have you removed your win7 partition? [14:59] anddam: i did that. it still fails, i suspect some of its dependencies were not installed , not installed correctly, not configure or not configured correctly .. due to the freeze at 71 [14:59] % [14:59] rationalOgre: or was I discussing this with you? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/660864 [14:59] greek: that is not a solution, but it may allow you to reenter the graphical environment [14:59] anddam: 71%* [14:59] Lekensteyn, no.. i want to keep it... just want to make it a bit smaller [14:59] those should be marked by apt [14:59] sulo_: can you still boot into win7? [14:59] Otherwise you've lost your win7 partition [14:59] yes.. i am currently in win7 [15:00] sulo_: too bad [15:00] ;-) [15:00] strange, could you boot into the CD again? [15:00] hmuller: i normally use kde. this is a kubuntui install. after some trouble with plasam desktop, i decided to give gnome a try. i do not mind using kde though. its working. not without occcasional problems. still, it works [15:00] sulo_: are you using the ubuntu-desktop-amd64.iso installer? [15:00] ok.. i'will boot in the live cd again and rejoin this channel [15:00] can I prevent an user from being shown at gdm's prompt? [15:00] anddam: did you find the solution? [15:01] rationalOgre: nope but I'm reading while installing [15:01] Lekensteyn, i booted the live cd.. and tryied to run gparted.. but yes it is the x64-desktop [15:01] sulo_: try upgrading your LiveCD packages by running sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade [15:01] (with GParted closed) [15:02] ok... i'll try that... brb [15:02] Lekensteyn: Does that even work? Upgrading right on LiveCD? [15:02] theadmin: I meant upgrading the packages on the LiveCD and *that* works [15:03] Lekensteyn: I see... Well that was my question. [15:03] anddam: if i had a way to remove all of gnomes dependencies and the ubuntu-desktop. i think a clean reinstall may fix it.. [15:03] nano as default editor is _hideous_ [15:03] I have installed ubuntu without a swap partition, what kinds of problems can that give? [15:03] Lekensteyn: Funny how it manages to work considering that the CD is read-only [15:03] (my PC has 12GB of memory) [15:03] wessel: if your RAM gets full. the kernel will go kill processes [15:03] my disk says its 100% in use but I can't find any files that would be taking up space [15:03] is there a GUI tool to manage users or should I just go with cli? [15:03] what should I do [15:03] wessel: with 12GB of RAM you've only to worry if a program gets a memory leak [15:04] is ubuntu 1104 shaping up well [15:04] wessel: the other consequence of no swap is that you can't use hibernation (suspend-to-disk) [15:04] who uses hibernation [15:04] I never do that anyways [15:04] its slowr than booting up or waking upfrom suspend [15:04] that feature is useless [15:04] wessel: if you have at leadt 500megs of ram.. it should be ok... i have 1gig of ram and a 1gig swap, and it rarely uses more then a couple hundred megs of swap and often uses 500 megs of ram [15:04] yes, exactly [15:04] theadmin: it's a special format, if a file is needed, it's read from the CD, otherwise it's retrieved from the RAM [15:05] anyone here familiar with manually editing GRUB2's grub.cfg? If so, can they tell me what I'm doing wrong here: http://pastebin.com/0TMiDTTi I get syntax errors and invalid commands when i do loadconfig manually in the GRUB command line, but it doesnt say what lines and where so it's hard to debug. When I manually enter in a group of commands in one of the menuentrys they work just fine. [15:05] my disk says its 100% in use but I can't find any files that would be taking up space.. what should I do?? [15:05] My line endings are \n linux style and not \r\n windows style. [15:05] found, this new GUI somehow _is_ user friendly [15:05] mrdeb: that's because hibernation places the system state in swap which must then be reloaded [15:05] theadmin: with the "toram" option at the boot options the whole CD is loaded into RAM [15:05] greek: well I guess I wanted to experiment a bit, what it is actually like to run a PC without swap [15:05] hmuller: what is the point? why not just reboot faster or use suspend [15:05] Lekensteyn: Niceish [15:05] wessel: i run it without swap. its faster [15:05] theadmin: speeds up using the LiveCD a lot on a system with enough RAM (> 2GB) [15:05] I imagined it being terrible, but so far I don't notice anything [15:06] mrdeb: exactly, I don't hibernate anymore [15:06] hibernate like memory dumps right? [15:06] AsSlowAsHell: it's a bad idea to edit grub.cfg directly, edit in /etc/grub.d/ [15:06] wessel: how has it been working for you [15:06] yes [15:07] ison khan [15:07] Well I tried filling my memory using a Java program [15:07] but I did not crash [15:07] anddam: what file to i get to see the logs when failing to boot into gnome ? [15:07] you see, suspend is more useful than hiberate, but if you do default install of lucid lts, it erases suspend option and gives you theworse hibernate. this is not good [15:07] my disk says its 100% in use but I can't find any files that would be taking up space.. what should I do?? [15:07] hi everybody [15:07] remember that filesystems like /dev/shm and other tmpfs-es use RAM [15:08] I've yesterday a VirtualBox instance opened with a shared folder in /tmp [15:08] everybody says hi [15:08] hi Scientist [15:08] hi Lekenstteyn [15:08] continuing my story, I accidentally filled that shared folder and my VirtualBox instance was killed because the system ran out of RAM (no swap) [15:08] Lekensteyn, the live CD doesn't want to generate the config for me. I've got a pretty non-standard setup here... lmao. the stage1, 1.5, 2 / grub install folders and config file reside on an NTFS partition and there is no linux on this machine. I'm setting this up for a friend, heh. The live CD doesn't want to generate me a GRUB2 config with this strange setup, something about not detecting [15:08] somethign with grub-detect. [15:08] wessel: yeah, linux does not like crashing. M$ windows is desinged to require a more powerfull computer and the use of third party apps to maintian it. this is intentional. designed to keep you destracted and unsatisfied. [15:09] greek: it depends on the error, I'd check syslog and Xorg.0.log [15:09] anddam: thanks [15:09] AsSlowAsHell: stage1, 1.5, 2? Sounds like Grub legacy, is this valid syntax for that? [15:09] hmuller: its not showing up under mint or windows either [15:09] Lekensteyn what OS did you wish to use? [15:10] !help [15:10] 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. :-) [15:10] hai [15:10] hi khan [15:10] Scientist: wish? I'm using Kubuntu [15:10] am an new buddy to linux [15:10] Lekensteyn, oh sorry, I thought GRUB2 was the one with a 1.5 stage, heh. No this isn't grub-legacy for sure, it was installed by a recent Ubuntu boot USB. [15:10] that VB instance was crappy win7 [15:10] no_idea: I know, I tested my drive under other OSs as well. It's the Seagate BSY bug. [15:11] How can I automatically download/cache all Vimeo and Youtube movies without having to click on them? [15:11] AsSlowAsHell: what was the syntax error again? [15:11] AsSlowAsHell: you might be interested in the wiki @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto === ng_ is now known as NG_ [15:11] pozic: I think it's in the Youtube or Vimeo settings. [15:11] is the new GUI ubuntu's or gnome's? [15:12] Lekensteyn, unfortunately it doesnt say :( when i load the config with loadconfig in the GRUB2 interactive menu it just spouts out like 8 syntax errors and 3 invalid commands. doesnt say what line or give ANY additional info. [15:12] theadmin: is there nothing which detects there is a Vimeo movie and just sends a JavaScript click event to the component?\ === Threepwood is now known as Guest21896 [15:12] Lekensteyn, checking out that wiki, thanks [15:12] AsSlowAsHell: are you running version 0.97ish? [15:12] pozic: Maybe you can find some Firefox add-on/userscript. [15:12] Lekensteyn, yes thats the version. [15:12] err [15:12] sorry 1.97? [15:13] hmuller: did you revert the firmware? [15:13] theadmin: I searched for it, before I asked here. [15:13] or can you? [15:13] theadmin: thanks, anyway. [15:13] AsSlowAsHell: GRUB2 is 0.97sh [15:13] Lekensteyn, its 1.97 beta 4 [15:13] i didn't notice you wrote 0. instead of 1. [15:13] oh, hang on I took it from my memory [15:13] indeed it's a 1 [15:13] no_idea: not yet, I am building the cable Sunday and will apply the fix then [15:14] 1.97 is new [15:14] err [15:14] 1.99 [15:14] 0.xxx is grub legacy [15:14] i know its definately GRUB2 becuase it changged the hide and unhide command to parttool hidden+ and parttool hidden- [15:14] hmuller: keep me posted? [15:14] if i want to have a webpage that can terminate and start a process on my ubuntu server, what would be the best way about going about it? [15:15] AsSlowAsHell: ignore that wiki then and look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [15:15] Lekensteyn, ok thanks doing so [15:15] angguss: an exec performed server side, it's a way. What's best depends on context [15:16] anyone here got bitcoin to work ? [15:16] no_idea: Sure, check back here this time Sunday and I'll let you know how it went [15:16] ok [15:16] Powerpc G3 400Mhz, trying to install 10.10 ubuntu. displays ubuntu logo after loading live-powerpc , then mid way screen goes blank. Tried editing xorg.conf file to change vertical and horizontal screen refresh rates but no xorg.conf file found. on editing it shows new file [15:16] so i dont knof if this is a bug in network manager [15:17] or something in network interfaces it didnt do [15:17] anddam: i've got a java application i want to control the running of, so it can be started/killed via web, i'd have to use something like php? [15:17] angguss: does this application offer a remote control? [15:17] angguss: like a cli tool to send it commands [15:18] how can i make 3d acceleration work in wine? i installed directx 9 and stuff but all i get is some rectangles where graphics and stuff should be. [15:18] angguss: PHP is a choice, java itself can be a choice, it depends on what you already know and what you're willing to learn [15:20] Powerpc G3 400Mhz, trying to install 10.10 ubuntu. displays ubuntu logo after loading live-powerpc , then mid way screen goes blank. Tried editing xorg.conf file to change vertical and horizontal screen refresh rates but no xorg.conf file found. on editing it shows new file [15:20] anddam: well i've used php before, so i suppose that would be what to use. it doesn't have a remote control [15:21] angguss: how are you going to terminate the application, by killing it? [15:21] Hi ALl [15:21] <_Lucifer> during a full install, I cannot boot into unity-3d as it says my hardware is unsupported, but it works when booting from a live-usb. is this normal?

Nowadays xorg uses autoconfigure so you won't find a xorg.conf but you can dump one running Xorg with a specific option as root, then use this dumped file as configuration [15:25] ah [15:25] it runs [15:25] ikonia: you still there ?

[15:42] Yes, but if you change sound settings, you must reboot :O [15:42] wessel: no, that might be caused by your installation of various sound packages (alsa-oss?) [15:42] ah yes, I did install alsa-oss [15:43] excuse me, does anyone know how to reset all network configuration to factory defaults?

[17:28] I tend to use xlock -nolock, it doesnt ask for a password-more like a screensaver [17:28] neil_ try http://heartbeat.skype.com/ === braiam is now known as braiam-lnch [17:29] bye [17:29] How do I configure what application is loaded when inserting a dvd disc into a computer? [17:29] Currently it appears Gnome Media Player loads by default. I would liek to change it to mplayer. [17:29] dougl: man xlock ;) [17:31] What are the differences in LibreOffice vs the OpenOffice ? And why did Ubuntu start using it? === tchanphysics is now known as being === derp is now known as ^ [17:31] Name141: libreOffice is an open source community project. Openoffice is controlled by oracle [17:32] The technical differences are many and minor [17:32] edbian: It looks and "Feels" the same to me. [17:32] Name141: Many distros switched to libreOffice because it is more free [17:32] Name141: libreOffice is a fork of openOffice. Originally they were identical. Now they are nearly identical [17:33] acovrig, man xlock = not ready for prime time and almost useless application - lol [17:33] edbian: sort of like Fedora vs Red Hat ? One is "more free" ? === eliezer is now known as eliezer_ [17:33] where is the refresh button on firefox? [17:33] * dougl reading man pages for xlock [17:33] Name141: Except Fedora is still controlled by the red hat corporation [17:33] Can someone take a look at this video: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2qlg49e&s=7 problems_with_certain_flash_videos_ubuntu_linux_11_04 [17:33] oh [17:33] I didn't know that [17:33] but.. yeah [17:33] mizerydearia: Wouldn't that be Preferred Applications? With Ubuntu 11.4 universal power button>System Settings>Preferred Applications. [17:33] Name141: So that's not really a good analogy [17:33] edbian: It's not "more free" it's just more community-oriented. [17:33] I'm not sure how to call this problem, white boxes appearing in flash video's [17:33] Omega: which [17:34] ? [17:34] libreoffice [17:34] brown_fern: I don't see it listed in Preferred Apps window. [17:34] Hi, is Ubuntu software center written PyGTK? [17:34] edbian/Omega: I'm not really seeing much one will do vs the other wont ? [17:34] I meant the GUI [17:34] Name141: They also fixed a few things like LO has better docx support [17:34] So people are free to make changes as they see fit. More free than they were with openoffice (controlled by oracle) [17:34] The software seems to be written in Python [17:34] Just wondering btw [17:35] Name141: they are nearly identical at this point because the fork happend like 2 months ago [17:35] The Multimedia tab only lists Multimedia Player which currently selected is Rhythmbox. Again, when inserting a dvd disc, Gnome Media Player is started by default, so this is unrelated. [17:35] edbian: You're also free to make changes to openoffice === soyo is now known as Guest22379 [17:35] (which is why libreoffice is possible) [17:35] When i install desktop version of server, the wireless gets installed out of box, but not while i install minimum server [17:35] how do i install wireless on server from terminal [17:35] Omega: But oracle can deny those changes and they do deny them more often then the community (at least that's the idea) [17:35] I think we're actually agreeing here and just saying it differently :P [17:36] Yeah, I know we are. [17:36] hahah [17:36] edbian: Yep, Oracle can deny it, but not every mediocre-patch is going to get into libreoffice either. [17:36] anyway to use 2 dvd drives at once independantly? bc I only detect 2 [17:36] edbian/Omega: it looks like Libre also has a windows version.. I guess I could switch on all OS's if I really wanted. But is there an actual reason I'd want to replace Open Office that's already working and fine? [17:37] ANyone? [17:37] Name141: Both versions are open source so both versions work on all platforms that have a C compiler (pretty much all compilers) [17:37] It appears the app is totem [17:37] (pretty much all architectures have a C compiler) [17:37] edbian: OK, but any reason to go all Patriotic on Libre and boycot the OpenOffice? [17:37] patriotic.. (spelling) [17:38] Name141: Actually it's even more convoluted now because Oracle recently 'gave' openoffice to the community so now they're both pretty much the same in every way except branding [17:38] But it's too late now. [17:38] Name141: Simple, OpenOffice = Orcle + Free Software [17:38] LibreOffice = Free software [17:39] Name141: My advice is to not fix what isn't broke. Leave openOffice on the machines that have it until you have a problem there [17:39] Name141: Leave libreOffice on those machines. They're completely compaitable anyway [17:39] Name141: It's not patriosm, there were valid concerns with how Oracle were handling their open source projects. [17:40] Libreoffice also has more features currently, and is being developed at a faster pace [17:40] Name141: I can guess you can switch if you have a problem with anonymous community members vs. anonymous oracle employees [17:40] (a lot of said community members were oracle employees) [17:41] since i updated to 11.04 video playback in my browser is weird, there's flickering of like white squared on top of the video usually at the bottom [17:41] anyone know what is it? [17:41] I'll make the switch sometime then.

[18:47] ActionParsnip: not sure what that is [18:47] bttf, yes but the cd is the hd so to spesk. [18:47] Bttf: liveCd always runs in RAM [18:47] i see [18:47] *speak [18:47] its been years since i've seriously used an ubuntu box, been on mac for a while [18:47] oh [18:47] ActionParsnip: Sorry but the link is only about commercial movie dvds, i'm talking about data-dvds so i can install software from it, any help? (i was asking about mounting dvds as nothing except ubuntu install dvd gets recognized) [18:47] if the hdd has failed, is there any reason why the internet wouldn't be able to connect ? [18:48] philsturgeon you could manually link the binary to /bin if you know where the new version of rails is installed [18:48] xhhj: thats where im at at the moment, but wondering if it can be done smoother [18:48] Bttf: web access in livecd and failed hdd are not related [18:48] ok [18:49] bttf, if the computer needs a driver to use the wireless card that may be2hats up. [18:49] ActionParsnip: wouldn't the corrupted network portion of the hdd be affecting the internet access? [18:49] xhhj: which rails = /usr/bin/rails, moved that and now it says uninstalled and suggests i try apt-get install [18:49] Bttf: you need to configure networking in the live OS [18:49] littlebearz, on a live cd the hd is not used [18:49] ActionParsnip: oh nvm, it's a livecd [18:50] but it is detecting access points... so the driver must be working right ?

[18:52] yesh, but what happened to yahoo and msn and the other protocols? [18:53] I have headers for older versions of the kernel installed, is it safe to uninstall these packages? [18:53] bttf: If you happen to be running the Knoppix linux distro and want to run it without mounting (loading) the hard disk drive or using the swap partition (virtual memory) the "cheat code" for this is "forensic," so, as I understand, one would enter "knoppix forensic" at the boot prompt, good luck with that hard disk drive. [18:55] never mind i figured it out [18:55] bttf, you see nothing like this . Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [18:55] turns out i needed to click next at "i'll enter my acct details now" [18:55] nope [18:55] hey guys anybody here could help me with something?

[19:02] You know the drives that are detected and mounted when you "open" them. What is the correct way to have them mount automatically at startup? [19:02] krasko: if you hold shift at boot, does the old kernel boot ok? [19:02] KaiDOg, look in synaptic, or in home if you have done direct mozilla downloads if thatr is where you would have put a direct download. [19:03] Also what is the alternative to the preferences/administration menus in Unity? [19:03] Antihero: add an entry in /etc/fstab [19:03] ActionParsnip: Ah cool. Won't that lead to duplicate drives in the places menu? [19:04] bttf: there are "brand name" hardware companies that computer users buy products from and then there the companies who make the chips on the network devices, you're not looking for names such as D-Link when you type "lspci" at the command line, but rather Atheros, if I'm not mistaken. [19:04] ActionParsnip: it seems that yes. i can see kernel dmesg (when i select recovery mode), without problems. but after that, the screen whill shutdown and .. thaths all [19:05] hey guys, I'm looking for the equivalent to the pam-devel package... I'm working on a class assignment writing a pam module, but I need the PAM includes on the system [19:05] I'm trying to use the startup disk creator. I put a CD-R in my drive, select System/Admin/Startup Disk Creator, it pops up the "Make Startup Disk" dialog, I select the ISO, but the "Disk to use:" part of the dialog is empty and it doesn't seem to have a file chooser button to use to select the blank CD-R. [19:05] Antihero: don't believe so as mounting makes the device accessible as a folder. You can use nautilus to add the mountpoint in the places menu [19:06] ActionParsnip: Ah, okay. How would I change the disk label [19:07] Puff: startup disk creator is for USB and flash based storage.

[19:12] Jag: paste the line or use pastebin and we can review [19:12] Corollax: the pwd may be important [19:12] That's what I had speculated...

However, when I attach the usb mouse to laptop B, nothing is appended to the output of `dmesg` how come? What can I do to find out why the usb ports are not functioning properly in the laptop? [19:45] KaiDOg: Ubuntu 11.4 would seem to be running Firefox 4.0.1, what version of Ubuntu are you running? I would upgrade if I were you. [19:45] anybody knows what is this "exe" listed in my processes? [19:46] jag: a mono program perhaps? [19:46] how can i be sure?

It will find the latest adobe and clean out any clutter including the loader. [19:48] that was the only place I didn't look [19:48] hello. on windows, in web browsers, when i click on the scroll button, then move the cursor up/down, it scrolls up/down. how can i enable this in ubuntu? [19:49] excellent nit-wit, I didn't know about that add on [19:49] burg:it scrolls always :) [19:49] KaiDOg, it is quite helpful.;) [19:50] anyone know of a receipt scanner that works with linux? === HammerTiem|lapto is now known as DavidDavidson|Of === DavidDavidson|Of is now known as HammerTiem|lapto [19:50] jiltdil, it doesn`t show that arrow and scroll [19:51] I had a nightmare working out conflicting flash plugins with firefox a year ago or so. I finally got it fixed on my own, but it was messed up. === TrevelyanInc is now known as TrevInc [19:52] burg, edit-preferences-advanced it is on that page [19:52] can I turn off the auto "sudo apt-get update" when I log in (both thru X11 and ssh)? [19:52] it takes a long time and I ssh back and forth a lot [19:53] FF is becoming a bit bloated , now that I'm used to chromium I haven't bothered with FF, KaiDOg [19:53] amybe it's not actually doign that, but it takes a _really_ long time to log in and it tells me how many packages are out of date when I ssh [19:53] ff4 is less bloated [19:53] changing /etc/motd doesn't help, I think it gets overwritten [19:54] KaiDOg: I wish I could help but I just use the software that is in the repositories for my version of a given distribution. Call me unadventuresome but, as I understand, to install packages that are outside the repositories is potentially inviting trouble, as it can break the operating system, some say. [19:54] burg FF edit-preferences-advanced-use auto scrolling. [19:54] Blues - I use firefox because I depend on the plug ins. But I switch back between it and Chrome [19:55] anybody has moonlight installed for firefox? [19:56] how do I use the "Compress" context menu to create an ISO? [19:56] hay guys does anyone where a can download a DSTD from cause i have been trying to follow the acpibattery documentation but the link provide for the DSTD [19:56] brown - Naw, not always. lxsplit and truecrypt are two examples of very good programs that aren't canonical but don't hurt the system. It'd be a shame to not take advantage of those utilities for fear of them hurting your computer. [19:56] is there a linux command line tool that backs up configuration files? [19:56] any help please [19:56] because this box is so busted I might give up and reinstall [19:56] jag are you thinking it will run netflix?

[20:00] any good gmail notifier for ubuntu? [20:00] absolutely mrdeb [20:00] which dock to u guys use? [20:00] i've tried to work with cairo-dock. no luck. [20:01] i really haven't had the time to sit and just mess with it either. [20:01] docky has some bugs [20:01] brown - There's a lot of good stuff, just stick with trusted sources until you know what you're doing more. [20:01] questions about using scp... I am using a key, so when I ssh I have to use the -i option and list the path of the key. How do I use scp, then? [20:01] i might just skip the dock then. [20:02] exoh you can try avant [20:03] jag u use avant? [20:03] not right now [20:03] kajakajo: scp has the very same -i option [20:05] How do you keep icons from appearing larger on the desktop? (My icons includes a preview of what the file is) [20:05] eXoh: If you're new to Linux, and maybe I'm missing the point, you might want to try some of the admin guides at http://tldp.org/ or The Linux Documentation Project [20:05] frostschutz, but it doesn't work, even if it's trying to. I get "Permission denied (publickey) connection lost" [20:05] !dock | eXoh [20:05] eXoh: Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. [20:06] ubottu, i've used cairo-dock [20:06] eXoh: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:06] lol [20:06] Yeah. So you can stop complaining about Unity now [20:06] don't want it on the left? FINE. use another one [20:07] TrevInc, .... [20:07] When I switch to console I see the screen fill with "hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate on USB device on port 5" one line per half second or so. Any idea why? [20:08] I just updated to ubuntu 11.02. This issue didn't occur previously. [20:08] how can i redefine ulimit's hard limits? [20:08] sudo ulimit doesnt work - as expected [20:08] kajakajo: works fine for me, are you sure you're supplying it with the right file? [20:11] frostschutz, you mean the correct pem? === david is now known as Guest19443 [20:12] kajakajo: correct key, correct user on the remote side, and it should work. scp just uses ssh too... [20:12] I'm trying this command: " scp file-1.16.5.tar.gz -i /path/to.pem ubuntu@000.000.fak.eip:/var/www " [20:12] And I get "Permission denied (publickey)" [20:12] lost connection" [20:13] kajakajo: key is wrong [20:13] hi all, can someone please tell me a good site to watch the uefa finals on, i have a slow connection :( [20:13] why are you using a pem file for an ssh key ? [20:13] dannyd: sorry, that's nothing to do with ubuntu [20:13] ikonia, how so? [20:13] ikonia, because a pem file is my ssh key? Because that's what amazon web service gives, and as far as I know is standard? [20:13] kajakajo: the options need to come first, files last, so it must be scp -i ... [20:14] kajakajo: first try to use -i as the first argument, and second, the error is clear "permission denied" that either means you don't have permission to read the key file, or the key is not authorized on the remote host [20:14] ikonia, the key works fine when I'm just using ssh, so I know that's not hte problem, the problem is how I'm calling it up. putting -i first, for isntance, which I'll try now. [20:14] thanks frostschutz, trying now. [20:15] kajakajo: also if that is your only key, you can make it the default key so you don't have to -i all the time [20:15] frostschutz, ok, now I get "file too large". Promising, but I think it's trying to use my file to be trasnfered as the key. Do I need to switch that order around? [20:16] frostschutz, how do I make it default key? that'd be super. [20:16] how can i redefine ulimit's hard limits? sudo ulimit doesnt work - as expected [20:16] kajakajo: your ssh_config, put that as the key file [20:16] hard limits? [20:17] yes [20:17] what do you mean by hard limit ? [20:17] ikonia, where is that file located? [20:17] kajakajo: put it in your ~/.ssh dir, by default I guess one of ~/.ssh/identity ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/id_dsa [20:17] ill search in /etc/security/limits.conf [20:17] kajakajo: /etc/ssh_config, or change the file to the already named files as frostschutz says [20:18] kajakajo: ~/.ssh/config for user specific configs (such as additional identitys). I only use one key, not sure if ssh can actually figure out byitself which key to use if you specify more than one [20:18] hmm, it exists, but everything is commented out [20:24] My microphone array seems to be disabled (ubuntu doesn't show that it's connected), but it was working a few days ago, and it works fine when I boot into windows. Normally, it doesn't work on windows, but works fine on Ubuntu. Any idea what's wrong? [20:25] so if i run ./etc/init.d/rc.local then it works, but how do i get rc.local to start on boot? [20:25] err [20:25] rc.local runs automatically anyway [20:25] it doesn't on boot [20:25] not for me [20:25] at least not /etc/init.d/rc.local [20:25] Run alsa-mixer at the terminal, furry and check the input settings are correct [20:26] try putting a `touch /testfile` [20:26] and reboot [20:26] 'touch /testfile' ? [20:26] yes [20:26] to be sure that it does NOT run [20:26] alsa-mixer should have been alsamixer, sorry, Furry [20:26] Furry, alsamixer [20:27] err [20:27] /etc/rc.local that is [20:27] so i just put "touch /testfile" in rc.local? [20:27] in natty, my wireless mouse is seriously laggy. anyone had this problem? :( [20:27] wait wait, what are you trying to do [20:27] a couple of things [20:27] are you placing an ELF on init.d ? [20:28] ELF [20:28] ? [20:28] executable [20:28] I Just want to run three terminal commands as root every time I boot [20:28] sudo nano /etc/rc.local [20:28] and append the three terminal commands [20:28] I did, and they don't run as boot [20:29] but if I type ./rc.local they run [20:29] are you 100% sure they do not encounter a problem? [20:29] how do I know? [20:30] I thought the fact that they run if I manually run ./rc.local [20:30] I need URGETN help with this could not duplicate ICEauthority file /home/hihihi100/.ICEauthority, It happened after I changer, or tried to change, the username [20:30] Urgent* [20:30] Gskellig, maybe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/453473 [20:30] Ubuntu bug 453473 in sysvinit (Ubuntu) "Scripts in /etc/rc2.d/ are not executed" [Undecided,New] [20:31] /etc/rc2.d/ ? [20:31] one person told me to put rc.local in /etc/ [20:31] another person told me to edit /etc/init.d/rc.local [20:31] so thats where they are right now [20:31] Gskellig, rc.local should be correct, but there are some update-rc.d commands you can run which might fix the issue [20:31] can someone tell me hte syntax to get a numerical value of the current device settings for amixer (get current volume level) returned as a smiple number [20:32] yeah i tried that it says The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future [20:32] I cannot use ubuntu, the system loads, but then it will only show the .ICEAuthority file error, can I somehow access the terminal? [20:32] BorgTK2001, there's an option called "Mic", but it's turned all the way down [20:32] Usuario: CTRL+ALT+F1 [20:32] usuario ctrl+alt+F1? [20:32] ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to x [20:33] Usuario: then check for permissions on that file, probably you messed them up by using sudo on a graphical programm [20:33] will that work, evein wehn I load my machine? its before Im prompted to write a password [20:33] darkorical, what number do you want, there are lots of mixers [20:33] Should I try turning it up? [20:33] Usuario, it should it is unrelated to the GDM ice errors [20:33] escott: where should rc.local be? what directory? [20:33] I've been told three different things now [20:33] I am trying to get the current volume level for the master control [20:33] fuchs, boot menu? [20:34] Usuario: no, on the login screen [20:34] Gskellig, mine is /etc/rc.local I don't have anything in it but since it is there I presume it should work for startup scripts [20:34] fuchs, a, ok [20:34] Usuario: the file should be yours, use chown if that isn't the case [20:34] thanks [20:34] i have one in /etc/rc.local and /etc/init.d/rc.local [20:34] Usuario: chown yourusers:yourgroup file [20:34] Give it a shot, Furry :) [20:35] fuchs, yes, it should be mine, but I tried to change my username, and thats when problems appeared [20:35] BorgTK2001, there's one labelled "Internal Mic" as well, should I try it as well? [20:35] Gskellig, is the rc.local service enabled? [20:35] What mic do you use - one you plug in, or the inbuilt one? [20:36] how do i find out escott ? [20:36] the inbuilt [20:36] Nothing other mics are connected to my computer either [20:36] BorgTK2001, though, the last time I used Ubuntu I did end up using a USB mic [20:36] Is it a laptop? [20:37] yes [20:37] Gskellig, service rc.local status [20:37] Then up the 'internal' mic setting :) [20:38] Gskellig, although that won't say anything useful for a script that just starts a bunch of things in the background [20:38] Ok, I turned it up to full... do I need to close alsamixer for the changes to take effect? [20:38] This is the first easy step to fix, if this doesn't work though we have other steps to take :L) [20:38] Changes are instant - no need to close alsamixer [20:38] but if the terminal in in the way, close it :) [20:39] Didn't work [20:39] hello I need some help plz [20:39] Sound preferences isn't detecting it, nor is skype [20:39] Iam trying to install nvidia lastest drivers [20:40] babalu: JUS ASK [20:40] escott, failed to connect to xserver? [20:40] Fuchs, what about renaming .ICEauthority in your home folder and reboot. After a successful login I found that a new .ICEauthority had been created. [20:40] but it s tell me that i need install it as rood [20:40] I am logged as root [20:40] In the hardware tab of sound preferences, is the hardware profile setup for 'duplex' [20:41] No [20:41] Gskellig, that doesn't make much sense... what are the commands in your rc.local [20:41] Should I change it to that? [20:41] Change it to a 'analog duplex' option if you have that [20:41] Ok, Can some one help me to configure my system ? i have that simple program: http://ideone.com/V6jEy that uses ncurses, it execute perfect on Linux Virtual Terminal Like in Control + Alt + F3 ... But dont work in xterm, RoxTerm, Terminal, or in any other terminal emulator. What should I do ? [20:41] Ah. [20:41] BluesKaj: that probably works as well, but is not easier than chown, both are just 1 command [20:41] BorgTK2001, that worked :) thanks [20:42] I still cannot access the terminal, even using ctrl+alt+f1, please take a look at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614286/ [20:42] :) No troubles :) [20:42] synclient tapbutton3=3 and sudo modprobe nvidia_g210m_acpi [20:42] and synclient tapbutton2=2 [20:43] Furry, yeah I think chown is probly safer [20:43] login screen options are disabled, I can only choose between different users, I cannot choose to open the terminal, or recovery mode [20:43] hello, can somebody help me with installing mysql lib for php5? Im using mysql 5.5 [20:43] it's actually "synclient TapButton3=3" and "synclient Tapbutton2=2" [20:43] BluesKaj, wah? [20:43] switches two tap and three tap with synaptics touchpad drivers [20:43] hi [20:43] Gskellig, thats the problem. synclient needs to be in your gnome-session not rc.local [20:43] Bluek meant Fuchs [20:43] babalu: F2 and "jockey-gtk" - try this [20:43] ICEauthority file error: I still cannot access the terminal, even using ctrl+alt+f1, please take a look at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614286/ [20:43] Furry, sorry , that was meant for Fuchs [20:43] BluesKaj, no problem [20:44] why this works for a user and not for root? gconftool-2 -t int -s /apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/tabs/tabs_size 4 [20:44] gnome-session? [20:44] it works if I run ./rc.local as a script [20:44] Gskellig: ./rc.local? [20:44] Gskellig, gnome-session-properties put the synclient command in there or put it in /etc/X11/something... but it can't be in rc.local because X isn't running yet [20:46] OH [20:46] rc.local runs BEFORE x is started? [20:46] well shoot. [20:46] yup [20:46] okay [20:46] probably the same thing with the modprobe [20:46] because it turns off my graphics card =/ [20:46] Gskellig, the modprobe should be fine [20:47] oh [20:47] okay [20:47] is there an amixer equivelant to "aumix -v q" [20:48] so where should I put it? [20:48] my nautilus is also fkkked up [20:48] Im having some real trouble with ubuntu 10.04 [20:48] darkorical, probably amixer get something, but i don't know what aumix -v q shows so i cant say [20:48] does everything in the /etc/X11/ directory run when X is started? [20:48] I can't just put it in there [20:49] can I? [20:49] Gskellig, it would be tied to a particular Xsession most likely, the gnome-session-properties will start when you login [20:49] where is gnome-session-properties? [20:49] Gskellig, see man Xsession. gnome-session-properties is the gui to access your personal gnome-session [20:50] oh yeah startup applications [20:50] those don't run as root though do they? [20:50] Gskellig, no those run as the local user. if you need to run it as root its probably going to need to be in the Xsession [20:50] aumix-v q returnes the current settings for the base volume [20:51] I'm not sure if they need to be run as root. the modprobe does for sure though [20:51] hi has anyone experience with an actisys 220l+ dongle behind an ftdi-usb-serial-converter and a nokia 7250 connected via irda? [20:51] My maximize, close and minimize buttons dosent show. I cant even see the bar where you can rightclick and (for example) choose option "Always on top" [20:51] i m trying to connect it with xgnokii [20:51] if i want to run two commands its just synclient TapButton2=2 && synclient TapButton3=3 right? [20:52] darkorical, amixer get Master [20:52] Besides if I have 3 Firefox windows open and try to close just one, they all shuts down. And my cursor is an X all the time. It dosent kill anything though [20:53] what happens if i reinstall ubuntu, but decide to keep my /home partition the same as it was before... with ecryptfs ? [20:53] does anybody know a command to turn off bluetooth by default on boot? [20:53] CyborgSmurf: You have the panel at the top of your screen? [20:54] BorgTK2001: yeah Ive got it but not on windows [20:54] OKies, this may not work, but is the first easy step: [20:55] Goto: System->Appearance, and on the visual effects tab, change it to none [if it is not there already] [20:56] BorgTK2001: btw, this happend while trying to solve the skype issue (which now for some reason I cant paste or type anything in the terminal) [20:56] #esp [20:57] When I loose my window borders in 10.04LTS, my issue on a specific computer is Compiz crashing [20:57] So I have to suffer with no wobbly windows ;) [20:57] what's the code name for 10.04 lts [20:57] Lucid Lynx [20:57] thanks [20:58] can anyone help me plz why while installing New Nvidia drivers asks me to installing as root and Iam logged as root plz?? [20:59] hey all, is it possible to use the adobe reader as default pdf reader? (ubuntu 11.04) [20:59] BorgTK2001: something happend while trying to enable effects... it couldnt be enabled but I got my cursor back... [20:59] ICEauthority file related: I cannot access ubuntu, nor the livecd (9.10) will install itself (the screen will only show the splashscreen loading for an eternity). I need to access a terminal to try sudo chown john:john ~/.ICEauthority, but I dont see how: in the login screen, ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing, and I cannot access ubuntu in the safe mode, in user defined version, or the terminal, help please [20:59] Cyborg, now change that effects settings to 'none' [21:00] BorgTK2001: its done [21:00] ie, CyborgSmurf , you want the effects disabled [21:00] Did the borders come back? [21:00] Glad your cursor came back ;) [21:01] Usuario, you should be able to boot to single user mode [21:01] BorgTK2001: everything seems to be back to normal [21:01] someone help me plz [21:01] CyborgSmurf: Then have no worries - that was a Compiz crash [21:01] Usuario, try http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/ [21:01] escott, with the livecd otr with my already present 11.04 installation? [21:01] BorgTK2001: thank you so much [21:02] Usuario, your installed version [21:02] No worries :) [21:03] CyborgSmurf: The more 'complicated' way to resolve that issue would have bee have you open up a terminal and run: metacity --replace [21:03] escott, to access the grub loader, I have to press ctrl+alt+f1, isnt it? [21:03] But I just showed you the 'graphical' way ;) [21:03] what this??? [21:03] Usuario, no during the boot when you get the grub menu use "e" to edit your boot options, and change the options to the kernel to be single [21:04] escott: I think you have to hold shift to enable that menu on 10.04LTS and above [21:04] BorgTK2001: whats next step then? [21:04] why is asking me to be root when iam logged as root I'am trying to install new nvidia drivers on ubuntu 10.10 86 [21:04] help plz [21:04] escott, not sure what I did, I think I pressed ctrl+alt+f1 or f2, but I am now in the GNU GRUB loader, showing me 5 options: Ubuntu generic, Ubuntu generic recovery mode, previous linux versions and 2 memtests [21:05] OKies, CyborgSmurf let's see where we are up to: you have your cursor and borders back? [21:05] Usuario, press "e" [21:05] BorgTK2001: yes [21:05] BorgTK2001: but what about the metacity --replace command? [21:06] escott, I guess I have to press ctrl-c or f2 for a command line, right? [21:06] Ahhh, no worries about that command, CyborgSmurf - that command was the more 'complicated' solution [21:06] escott, its what I read [21:06] Usuario, it may depend on the version of grub. i'm not really sure [21:06] You already have done it using the 'graphical' way :) [21:07] escott, can i disregard the information in the box? (recorfail, insmod...) [21:07] BorgTK2001: oh, okay [21:07] Usuario, the key one is the kernel line which says what version of the kernel [21:07] So, CyborgSmurf, you don't need to worry about that metacity command :) [21:08] Only trouble now, CyborgSmurf, is no visual wobbly effects - but that is something I live without on my computer too ;) [21:08] I have the same Compiz crashes, so I just don't/can't use Compiz or wobbly windows :) [21:08] escott, ok, I pressed f2, it doesnt look like a regular terminal: no $ or #, just grub> [21:09] BorgTK2001: okay... is that a compiz bug or something? [21:09] thanks [21:09] Usuario, actually the rescue mode should be the same [21:09] Usuario, you shouldn't need to change anything in grub just boot the rescue mode [21:10] escott, ok, im reading your link [21:10] It could be a Compiz thing, a specific application bug [Skype for example], a graphics driver bug, but all I know is on my computer Compiz works randomly for about a good hour, then crashes [21:10] Usuario, it may be different for you if you have grub2 [21:10] escott, 1.99 [21:11] So to blame it fully on Compiz may not be the right thing - but it is the easiest thing to get things working again by shutting off Compiz ;) [21:11] BorgTK2001: I believe you are right. Ive read alot about crashes that has to do with compiz [21:12] As to stopping it from happening in the future, that part even I haven't solved on my end yet - but I really want to :) [21:13] BorgTK2001: I guess machines crashes because human is not perfect ;) [21:13] Indeed ;) [21:13] I'm trying to get the workspace switcher from ubuntu 11.04 on Debian 6.

[21:57] blueskaj, the whole line says "could not duplicate ICEauthority file /home/hihihi100/.ICEauthority", hihihi100 is my old username, but that directory no longer exists, it has been renamed dexter, my new username, anyway, how do I rename that file I cannot find from the terminal accesed from GRUB?

[22:03] guntbert: I also gathered same info by googling but while I was on some other room in freenode, I found someone was answering so intuitively and fast, and at last someone said that he was a bot....so I don't understand, how a robot/bot can reply or exactly can understand you question so nicely.....sorry for writing ti so long. [22:03] Thanks, LoiMussone :) Now, just to confirm you have the option to start windows when you reboot, but it just doesn't want to load windows? [22:03] guntbert 2 [22:03] bencc, su username [enter] enter that users password then you will have a console for them. the other difficulty you may have is related to that user not having access to your xauthority so they can't run gui apps in your session [22:04] BorgTK2001: yes sir [22:04] guntbert, seriously was that necessary [22:04] guntbert, i dont think so man. [22:04] lloowen, i think you can shorten the timeout, and then run grub-mkconfig [22:04] escott: ok thanks [22:04] and rather can anybody help por favor?

[22:05] BlouBlou: am looking to discover documentation on daemon processes and programming such to be converted to a different lingua [22:05] yassine_hell: its grub.cfg - in the future use for autocompletion [22:05] yassine_hell: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/super-boot-manager-eases-burg-grub-plymouth-tweaking-pains/ [22:06] cirwin how do i use sudo to drag the file to that folder? lol [22:06] sfdsafdsafdsa: start up a terminal :) [22:06] then "sudo mv /where/the/file/is/now /where/you/want/to/put/it/" [22:06] hey wondering wherer i might find some linux distros [22:06] sfdsafdsafdsa: gksudo nautilus [22:06] yassine_hell: and please be patient [22:06] WeiKeWen: the internet? :p [22:06] on torrent, all sorts of different kinds, i'm using virtual box [22:06] cirwin should i write only sudo? and it will allow me after?

[22:06] billy_ whats that [22:07] sfdsafdsafdsa: you put sudo at the start of the line [22:07] and it only allows you to do one thing at a time [22:07] Oh, LoiMussone: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/super-boot-manager-eases-burg-grub-plymouth-tweaking-pains/ <-- may help you too [22:07] guntbert: any thoughts..? [22:07] if you want to run everything as sudo [22:07] do sudo su [22:07] i can't select bitween Debian and Ubuntu for server [22:07] and then you can always have permission — but it's dangerous [22:07] BorgTK2001: thank for your time [22:07] You could use that, LoiMussone, to get the settings of grub when it chooses to run windows [22:07] guntbert : root@bt:/boot/grub# ls [22:07] bt4.xpm.gz gentleblue.xpm.gz minix_stage1_5 stage2 [22:07] default installed-version reiserfs_stage1_5 xfs_stage1_5 [22:07] device.map jfs_stage1_5 splash.xpm.gz [22:07] e2fs_stage1_5 menu.lst splashimages [22:07] yassine_hell: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:11] what u advise to me for servers? debian or ubuntu? and why? [22:12] annone: I've been under the impression that debian is generally preferred for servers, because they pay more attention to keeping their system stable [22:12] i'm from Ukraine and sorry for my english [22:12] what s "chainloader +1" [22:13] I think it tells grub to load another bootloader. [22:13] they are said to be more careful about putting upgrades into their system--they test things more thoroughly. [22:13] Anyone exp with Virtual box running BackTrack [22:13] Backtrack has its own channel. [22:14] Ubuntu, on the other hand, is a bit more of a Desktop in that it offers new software to users when they are "reasonably" stable [22:14] I've never actually used debian, but that is what I've "heard" [22:14] Where is the back track channel [22:15] rosco_y, ok. 10x for u [22:16] escott, everything works now, thanks. [22:16] now i just need to find out how to disable bluetooth on boot [22:16] yw [22:16] shouldnt be too hard [22:16] anyone know how to restore the speaker beep in a console [22:16] apposed to screen flash [22:16] Fudge - sounds like an 'accessibility' option [22:17] suzano there is also an alternative matriux [22:17] Does anyone recommend installing ubuntu from the DVD version or the CD version, or is the DVD exactly the same with extra softare? [22:17] !backtrack | suzano [22:17] suzano: 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 [22:17] BorgTK2001 yeah prob but not sure where to configure for the console [22:17] rosco_y: If you've got a decent internet connection, you can just download the packages contained on the DVD as needed [22:17] suzano or backbox linux is good too [22:17] rosco_y: to save you downloading the whole dvd [22:17] Usuario, sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm/ICEauthoriy [22:17] sweet [22:18] During the install, it kept probing my monitor and getting no|invalid EDID, is it dangerous to my lcd to run ubuntu without an edid? [22:18] m1dn1ght_: thank you, that's what I was thinking too.... [22:18] rosco_y: np :) [22:18] who used Ubuntu Server? [22:19] coilbucker: what is an edid? [22:19] Thanks [22:19] I think it's the signal that a monitor sends to inform a computer about itself. [22:19] blueskaj, is gdm the username I have to change? [22:19] annone: probably lots of ppl in #ubuntu-server [22:19] I just have an lcdtv, so I don't think it sends one. [22:19] 10x m1dn1ght_, [22:20] the dvd rosco_y , is for ppl who have an interent connected pc to download and burn to install on a ps with no internet connection ...the dvd contains most of the available apps on the repos [22:20] ps=pc [22:20] BluesKaj: Thanks!

[22:27] I'm installing a brand new thinkpad t520. Somebody suggested I look into uefi, and the t520 does indeed support uefi. However, I can't find any info on how to setup uefi with ubuntu. Anybody know how to do this or where to find the instructions? [22:28] Hey guys, I have a problem. I just bought a SanDisk Ultra Backup flashdrive, and when I plug it in, it doesn't automount. All of my other flashdrives do and this flashdrive automounts in Windows, can someone tell me if it's possible to fix [22:29] russjr08: immediately after inserting it, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues [22:29] ok [22:29] I'm starting a website, there's only two developers, we're looking for a project management tool for ubuntu, anyone know of any? [22:29] Do you want me to pastebin the output? [22:29] russjr08: is the drive partitioned? [22:29] russjr08: sure [22:29] russjr08: Might be easier to do "dmesg | tail" first, then watch that window while you plug itin. [22:29] ActionParsnip, it came formatted as FAT32, I just formatted it as NTFS [22:29] ActionParsnip tty4, a console [22:30] MichaelTr: What kind of development? What kind of project management? [22:30] russjr08: yeah fat32 isn't very robust. Did you safetly remove the device when you last unplugged the device? [22:30] Fudge: I see, is the app installed on a remote system? [22:30] ActionParsnip, yup [22:30] puff, development of a website with Zend Framework (php/mysql) [22:30] russjr08: good, that cures a billion issues. [22:30] MichaelTr: Ah, php. Well, you might be better off asking in a programming channel.

[22:31] because #ubuntu-server maybe sleep [22:32] MichaelTr: Project management is a complex topic, so you really might want to figure out what problem you're hoping to solve with a project management tool. [22:32] MichaelTr: Basecamp and the like might be your best bet, for simple task tracking. [22:32] eople, I can not choose between Debian and Ubuntu Server, but I am inclined to US.

I'm having a bit of an issue with 11.04 (upgraded from 10.04.2 lts) - whenever I boot up, I get a series of errors which looks like they relate to my SD card reader. After identifying the device, it states 'bad LUN', then "Bad target number (1:0)", and does that through "Bad target number (7:0)". Anyone know much about this? [22:32] !ask| annone [22:32] annone: 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. :-) [22:32] puff, I'll look into it, thanks [22:32] MichaelTr: I suggest you continue the convo on #php.

[22:49] actionparsnip, but the folder hihihi100 no longer exists, as it was renamed dexter [22:49] phoronix.org does regular benchmarks, so it could be a regression that has not been resolved [22:49] how do you access the network files in ubuntu alternate [22:50] Merecat uses a different kernal [22:50] actionparsnip, my machine is trying to find files in a folder that no longer exists [22:50] Usuario: did you chenge the hihihi100 user's home folder to the new name? [22:50] I want to install espeak-gui it tells me to use the authors personal PPA: "https://launchpad.net/~rainct/+archive/voice" how can I add such strange PPA? [22:50] actionparsnip, yes [22:50] arianit: yeah , different stuff...Unetbootin wil automate all of that..u just have to point it to the fedora ISO u have..Google it..Unetbootin is the name [22:50] now its /home/dexter, not /home/hihihi100 [22:50] BorgTK2001: Ubuntu 11.04 is not compatible with older kernels. [22:51] Correct, deltik - it could all be Linus' fault, not Mark's [22:51] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rainct/voice/ubuntu maverick main <-- I should replace maverick right? [22:51] wessel: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rainct/voice; sudo apt-get update [22:51] wessel: then run: sudo apt-get -y install espeak-gui [22:52] wessel: no, that is the hard way [22:52] BorgTK2001: Well, if it's an incompatibility problem from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04, it was definitely caused by Ubuntu development. [22:52] Hello all. My lap top used to automatically boot to the desktop. Now all of a sudden I get a grub boot menu. I've tried changing the settings in /etc/default/grub but nothing I do there seems to restore what I had previously. i.e. no grub menu [22:52] deltik, incorrect assumption [22:52] how do you access the network files in ubuntu alternate [22:52] BorgTK2001: How is my assumption incorrect? [22:52] Ubuntu development *could* be the cause, but is not definitly the cause === ubuntu_ is now known as ThisDB_ [22:52] lloowen, does it still bot to desktop? [22:53] boot [22:53] can anyone explain this? im trying to fix grub [22:53] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/d4bd9dd1-f1c8-41d1-a2e8-802af9338f6f /dev/sdc2 [22:53] The file /media/d4bd9dd1-f1c8-41d1-a2e8-802af9338f6f/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. [22:53] * wessel bows deeply [22:53] sudokill: Yes but I have to manually select on the grub boot menu. [22:53] There definitely seems to be a lot of complaints of regression for 11.04.. I'm new to linux/Ubuntu so maybe that happens every release [22:53] BorgTK2001: The older kernel became incompatible from Maverick to Natty. It was Ubuntu development. [22:54] lloowen, if it's just 1 kernel u bootinto then change the timeout to 0 in grubs menu.lst [22:54] Vonhinten: It happened for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala [22:54] why "apt-get source squid-deb-proxy" and "apt-get source squid-deb-proxy-client" gives me the same thing? [22:54] sudokill: menu.lst is no longer used in Grub2 [22:54] wessel: same with any ppa, just copy the bold text ;) [22:54] i'm having a a problem doing a make or a make install for the driver of my wireless card which is a Ralink5390, I've followed the online tutorials but i don't how to edit the config, i'm totally ne to this, thanks [22:54] grub.cfg?

[22:56] deltik, u can still change timeout to 0 from config tho right? idk i use grub 2 but i imagine u can... [22:56] deltik: it solves the shortcomings of the legacy version though. Once its setup you don't have to mess with it [22:56] deltik, i use grub 1 i mean [22:56] sudokill: You can [22:56] deltik: If you are having GRUB problems: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/super-boot-manager-eases-burg-grub-plymouth-tweaking-pains/ [22:56] its lloowen thats having probs [22:56] Grub2 Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [22:56] is there anyway to get moc to show russian letters and not some messed up garbage in the terminal?

I already have timeout set to "0" in /etc/default/grub [22:57] trism: in squid-deb-proxy-client.install I see /etc/apt/apt.conf.d but the folder is missing from source [22:57] ahh idk it should skip grub screen altogether [22:57] but, im not familiar with grub 2 so i cant help [22:58] Should I downgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat? (Background info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1765283 ) [22:59] No deltik, I would suggest going back one more step to 10.04LTS - LTS for a reason [23:00] deltik: you will need to clean install if you do [23:00] BorgTK2001: Why the LTS? [23:00] ActionParsnip: I have my backups made. [23:00] Long Term Support [23:00] 10.10 is fine [23:00] as stable as lts [23:00] for most ppl [23:00] deltik: if you unininstall then reinstall the ati driver, is it better [23:00] I only ever use LTS releases and 12.04 will be my next upgrade [23:01] deltik: have you tried a clean install of natty, clean install gives far fewer issues [23:01] BorgTK2001: I know what LTS is, but 10.10 worked just fine for me [23:01] is there a way for me to update grub while running my main install of ubuntu?? [23:01] i've attached some drives that have oses on them and want thm added to the menu [23:01] update grub [23:01] if you install 10.10 instead though you have no upgrade path that skips 11.04 [23:01] ActionParsnip: It was a clean install, and ubiquity reinstalled the packages for me [23:01] ActionParsnip: The packages I had before, that is. [23:01] tensor, just elect lts in update manager [23:01] sudokill, in a terminal? [23:02] update: command not found [23:02] sudo update grub [23:02] or sudo update-grub [23:02] bencc: it isn't broken, it builds correctly, that just says that files installed into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d by the Makefile should be part of the squid-deb-proxy-client package [23:02] ah [23:02] its doing something [23:02] so no one knows how to show russian characters in terminal? [23:02] ActionParsnip: So it's the driver that's in question? [23:02] yay, it found windows. thanks [23:02] gg [23:02] trism: when installing a package I'm still getting it from ubuntu.com instead of the proxy [23:02] I would say so, deltik - something AMD has done, not Shuttleworth [23:03] deltik: i'd say so, proprietary drivers rarely survive changing release [23:03] How do I handle asian characters on the command line? === joel is now known as Guest34450 [23:04] ActionParsnip: It's the same driver... I don't see why a problem would be caused. [23:04] I have two files I want to manipulate but they have asian characters [23:04] ActionParsnip: And the driver was reinstalled after the upgrade. [23:04] deltik, lots of ppl have problems with drivers after upgrading [23:04] i did ages ago with nvdia [23:04] ati actually [23:04] lol [23:05] now AMD, sudokill ;) [23:05] sudokill: Alright... how would you explain for the increased startup time, decreased performance, and slower software?

I mean a normal ubuntu boot [23:07] there really is no need for 11.04 [23:07] jkb [23:08] deltik: even if its the same driver the OS has to recreate the kernel module to make it run under the new kernel [23:08] deltik: this rarely goes well during the upgrade phase so removing it, then reinstalling it under the new branch of the kernel can help graetly [23:08] This is killing me, I need a command line way to add an emblem to a file in Ubuntu 10.10... Does anyone know where the information is stored of if there is a command line program that can do it ?

I stayed at Ubuntu 9.04, but here, this is Unity I will be missing if I downgrade. [23:11] ActionParsnip: nope, didn't trigger it to run [23:11] i upgrases the new ubuntu and now my cam wont work [23:11] deltik, missing? [23:11] you mean theres someone who will *miss* unity? [23:12] Kevin`_: why is it nasty? [23:12] sudokill: Well, I like Unity. [23:12] sudokill, it was there, i'm a little bit silly (-: [23:12] sudokill: I love Unity [23:12] aw [23:12] ActionParsnip: because there is no need to reinstall it? also it might remove configuration or something [23:12] peto dw bout it theres loads of option screens [23:12] my flash plugin will not support my cam for some bizzare reason help me please? [23:12] I can't use Unity on 10.04LTS, but I love Unity non the less [23:12] BorgTK2001, i tried it for a tiny but ages ago [23:12] I'm liking gnome shell atm [23:12] sudokill: It's a new interface, but I got used to it fairly quickly [23:12] no one really likes that either [23:12] Kevin`_: it will force it to recreate the kernel modules, its just an easy way to make it happen. What config files wil be removed exactly? === derp is now known as ^ [23:13] ActionParsnip: I don't care, it didn't work, how do you actually run it? [23:13] Oh, I have heaps of hatin on GnomeShell [23:13] i'm having a a problem doing a make or a make install for the driver of my wireless card which is a Ralink5390, I've followed the online tutorials but i don't know how to edit the config, i'm totally new to this, thanks [23:13] deltik, yea when i first tried gnome shell i thought it was bad and slow but looked good so i kept it and ended up loving it [23:14] BorgTK2001, why? [23:14] Alright... so... I guess I'll be crossing my fingers for Oneiric Ocelot. :| [23:14] Because it is just Unity is disguise - the GNOME community shunning the Canonical stuff, then implementing it and claiming it was always going to be a part of GS... [23:14] to me, gnome shell with default theme is best looking de by far but its preference i know [23:15] deltik, wait for 12.04LTS PP [persevering penguin?] [23:15] Buenas noches a todos [23:16] BorgTK2001: I'm considering that too.

[23:17] deltik: I concur about the state of LTS - I insist on only using the LTS for my personal use. But that is just a personal preference [23:17] ubuntu i suppsoe [23:17] of linux? [23:17] Ubuntu 9.04 [23:17] - the Jaunty Jackalope - released in April 2009.

[23:21] tyler_: ok then at least the OS sees it and it works :) [23:21] its a laptop. HP G62 [23:21] astley, we can help you better the more information you give us. Open up http://www.pastebin.com and paste any information you have, such as what make and/or make install does, what errors they are etc [23:21] has anyone else had gnome3 crap out after an update? [23:21] s3r3n1t7: ok [23:21] tyler_: so the system has found your webcam, problem solved [23:21] is it possible to fix an ext3 or ext4 filesystem using FSCK from windows? [23:22] right but my flash player doesnt find it why? [23:22] itilious: you will need a liveCD of linux [23:22] What is the best way to rip CDs Ihave tried both amarok and banshee and they both suck, amarok cant sync and banshee doesnt get my tracknames at all! [23:22] dang [23:22] itilious, using vmware with a long workaround, yes. Using a liveCD is about 100 times faster and safer. [23:22] tyler_: you never mentioned the flash player bit though, any other details you may have missed? [23:22] itilious: windows is too inorant to manipulate Linux filesystems [23:22] nope. it just says that it cant find the camera [23:23] would tiny linux be able to do this? or is that too minute? lol [23:23] rkvirani, rubyripper if u want good but slow [23:23] sudokill: got a url for that? [23:23] itilious, you can do it with puppy linux [23:23] s3r3n1t7: this is what i get when i make http://pastebin.com/8z8WQECq [23:23] rkvirani, if not audex is great [23:23] rkvirani, install audex it does everything and fast its the best one imo [23:23] sudokill: k thanks [23:23] rkvirani, rips to mp3 flac everything and u can use cdparanoia too [23:24] then I can get them onto my ipod [23:24] ye [23:24] itilious: I would use http://clonezilla.org to first make a backup, then use the fsck on it to fix your drive [23:24] tyler_: If you are wanting to use ChatRoulette, does Flash just not see the camera in the pulldown? [23:24] s3r3n1t7: this is make install http://pastebin.com/DUPzsr97 [23:24] astley, what exactly are you trying to achiev? [23:24] pulldown of flash [23:24] tyler_: is there a config in the flash plugin if you right click the flash item, to set the camera device up? [23:24] sudokill: I will try that out [23:24] thanks for the tip! [23:24] ok [23:25] i go to Koowy.com and chat but it doesnt let me use camera [23:25] u wont be disappointed [23:25] tyler_: did you configure the camera within flash? [23:25] reason i need to fix yet another corrupted filesystem is because ubuntu ocasionally locks up and i must hard reboot,,, is there another way i can get out of a lock up? [23:25] within my flash plugin? [23:25] i'm so used to doing CTR + ALT +DEL lol [23:25] tyler_: yes, you may need to tell it stuff to work [23:25] How do i disable the thin scrollbars in 11.04 unity? I love them, but they cause render problems in certain applications... [23:26] itilious, control alt f1 [23:26] s3r3n1t7: i'm trying to get my wireless card to be recognized by wicd or network manager, when i had ubuntu 10.10 i had to go through this and i got it working, but for some reason even though i did the same thing it wont work [23:26] how do i configure it in my plugin? [23:26] for banshee to retro activley get album art for my media? [23:26] i got the plugin from the software center [23:26] astley, and did you upgrade or a complete reinstallation? [23:26] itilious: you can configure it to bring up a task manager if you want === thereheis is now known as thereheis00 [23:26] jiohdi, doesnt this bring up a simple teerminal full screen? [23:26] itilious, then sudo reboot [23:26] i see [23:26] err my CDs? retroactivly get the names and album art???????? [23:26] makes sense, [23:26] !REISUB | itilious [23:26] itilious: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [23:26] tyler_: that isn't of any value, flash is working. You may need to configure it to use the webcam [23:26] s3r3n1t7: reinstallation [23:26] rkvirani, audex uses cddb [23:27] rkvirani, it will get the names and album art automatically [23:27] how do i do that then? [23:27] tyler_: I dont use webcams, too creepy. Right click flash and you may get some options there [23:27] ActionParsnip, he does that by right-clicking on the 'flash' section, yep? [23:27] astley, the second error you get with make install is that it doesn't have the correct permissions, which is correct. Assuming that make did complete succesfully and created the relevant files, you can install with sudo make install. Note the sudo that precedes it, it has to write files which require root access. [23:27] BorgTK2001: probably [23:28] now it says enable hardware acceleration? [23:28] tyler_: what was the website again? [23:28] tyler_: is there a webcam tab? [23:28] Oh, that's the options [23:28] Do you see video and mic settings? [23:29] funny how I know so much about something I don't actually use..... [23:29] yes in the lil window there is a tab. i have my cam selected but then it says enable hardware acceleration [23:29] s3r3n1t7: this is what i get when i add sudo, i'm not sure how to compile, http://pastebin.com/H7gfKiCC [23:29] I suggest testing the webcam with a local app first, flash has a long history of bugs [23:29] you can enable hardware acceleration if you like [23:29] but that has nothing to really do with getting the webcam working [23:30] but no hard in enabling it if you want to [23:30] Kevin`_: he has - in cheese, and it works :) [23:30] ah ok [23:30] how do i enable acceleration? im not good with this computer stuff [23:31] You don't need to, tyler_ [23:31] You just need to worry about the webcam tab [23:31] What I really mean is: lets get the webcam working first, and worry about fancy options later ;) [23:31] well it has my cam selected now [23:31] astley, did you install the build-essential package and such? [23:32] OKies, now 'save' those settings and try your cam in the website you goto [23:32] and cheese still has my cam working [23:32] how can I tell ubuntu to use the normal opengl libraries instead of nvidia's? [23:32] anyone experianced in using mplayer via commandline? [23:32] s3r3n1t7: this is the tut i'm using, and as for your new question no, how do i do that, synaptic?

[23:36] rkvirani, i havent used audex in about 6 months i use rubyripper now [23:36] s3r3n1t7: what do i put in terminal lspci? [23:36] rkvirani, but audex is pretty similar should be in options [23:36] astley, it's also described in the tutorial you linked me, just before step 1. "use lspci to see your model number" [23:36] ActionParsnip: Yes, I will. You think it's due to RAM ? [23:36] rkvirani, have u installed audex yet? [23:36] Narc, i doubt it [23:36] yep - close cheese but don't reopen it [23:36] you can only use your webcam in one place at a time ;) [23:36] guys, this really doesn't google at all, help would be appreciated [23:37] nope I cant set the thing anywhere!!1 [23:37] Narc: its possible, good to test things so you know they are good so you can zero in on the stuff thats bad [23:37] i did and now its back to enable acceleration [23:37] -.- [23:37] sudokill: What's your opinion then ? [23:37] Kevin`_, "this" isn't really useful, it'd be helpful to just ask your question again to the channel. [23:37] I lost all my info and I had to reinstall ubuntu. now I took many files in maaany folders with photorec. but now I want to get some of those files. I noticed I can save when I search files and a quees file is created with al paths to all files in lines. how can I use that text file as input to copy or cut all that in another folder? thanks [23:37] how can I tell ubuntu to use the normal opengl libraries instead of nvidia's? === ^ is now known as Santorum [23:38] rkvirani, its in the first screen in options little dorp down box [23:38] ActionParsnip: Sure, but if it was RAM, why would I have the bug on older kernels and not recent ones ? [23:38] Narc, idk ur using downgraded kernel with a radeon boot option somehting to do with radeon or both [23:38] Narc, why are u using older kernel anyway [23:38] s3r3n1t7: here is my config.mk http://pastebin.com/wwnF6uJw [23:38] And the webcam tab has still got your webcam selected as default? [23:39] Kevin`_, from my (somewhat limited) understanding the opengl libraries are used from the graphics driver, so you'd have to switch to a graphics driver which uses the preferred opengl libraries. [23:39] s3r3n1t7: I already switched the graphics driver xorg uses. I need to switch the opengl libraries [23:39] Narc: its a good thing to test with artifacts. Why not use the newer kernels if they work? [23:39] yep mine is still there [23:40] Narc just use the proper kernel 2.6.38 [23:40] r u using one from kernel org? [23:40] You could try a restart, but usually the flash options are changed instantaneously [23:40] okay i will shutdown and restart [23:40] s3r3n1t7: brb [23:40] i will be back if it dont work [23:41] sudokill, ActionParsnip : Because it was a nightmare to install a functioning Natty with default kernel on this laptop. It's a Toshiba Satellite. Had problems with ACPI and Ethernet card, the only way to boot with 2.6.38 kernel was to set acpi=off which kills USB completely, among other things... 2.6.35 is the only stable kernel I've tested so far. [23:41] astley, The forum thread referenced in the tutorial also asks you to install a few packages, which are build-essential, devscripts and cdbs. Did you install those? if not, please do so. [23:41] Narc, newer kernels normally support more hardware [23:42] i have no idea why its not as stable for you [23:42] Narc: tried maverick? [23:43] ActionParsnip: Yes, I tried, but I'm not even able to boot the LiveCD, even with ACPI=off set. [23:43] Narc could be anything [23:43] ActionParsnip: Which is strange since Maverick uses 2.6.35 I think... [23:43] 2.6.36 [23:44] unless thats updated [23:44] cant remember [23:44] sudokill: Oh, okay [23:44] I got 2 HDD's... ubuntu on 1 with 2 spar partition and the 2nd is just 2 partions /HD@/Saved1 /HD2/Saved2.... well during install i named /HD2/Saved2 as /Hd2.... then i just went into fstab and renamed it... will it remount it self . as soon as i reboot from system update [23:44] opps /HD@ / is /HD2 [23:45] sudokill: first screen options eh [23:45] let me check [23:45] hi, how do i use grep but turn off regex matching? [23:45] rkvirani, should be, i just googled a screenshot of it but u definately should be able to choose a drive [23:46] I lost all my info and I had to reinstall ubuntu. now I took many files in maaany folders with photorec. but now I want to get some of those files. I noticed I can save when I search files and a quees file is created with al paths to all files in lines. how can I use that text file as input to copy or cut all that in another folder? thanks [23:46] ActionParsnip, sudokill: So, no luck with my artifacts, I guess I'll settle with that. I'm quite proud to have it working anyway. Thank you both for your help. [23:46] Narc sorry i couldnt actually help could be anything afaik [23:46] hi, i upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 but now it seems that the drivers for mi ati radeon x1950gt are missing and it's using a software rasterizer. any ideas? [23:46] artifacts probably radeon [23:46] boxbeatsy, the whole point of grep is regular expression, in fact it's in the name [23:47] sudokill: It's okay, suggestions are welcome too [23:47] sudokill: Yeah, I'll investigate that. === robinhoode|sleep is now known as robinhoode [23:47] s3r3n1t7: btw, update-alternatives --config gl_conf [23:47] ZykoticK9: nvm i figured it out...can use the -F flag, thansk though! [23:47] Kevin`_, i'll make a mental note of it. Thanks for letting me know! [23:48] s3r3n1t7: when i'm installing devscripts i get Postfix Configuration, what do i do [23:49] sudokill: got it thanks [23:49] astley, default settings will suffice. [23:49] s3r3n1t7: how do i select? [23:49] rkvirani, good hope u like the prob i found it was great [23:49] rkvirani, prog* [23:49] astley, hit enter for the questions. [23:50] Hi, just installed the new version of Ubuntu 64 bit version on the laptop. Dvd doesnt seem to work, and theres no packages? was advised earlier before by somebody to goto a link but couldnt find a one suitable [23:50] stephen libdvdcss [23:50] to play dvds [23:50] stephen_: nothing happens, the options just remain on the screen [23:51] libdvdread [23:51] stephen_: medibuntu probably [23:51] astley, which question does it ask then? [23:51] stephen_, as kevin said just add the medibuntu ppa it should install them all [23:52] Here I go... reinstalling Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat! [23:52] s3r3n1t7: http://pastebin.com/Dbi1rNs3 it remains on this promt as i press enter [23:52] sudokill: yeah it doesnt like my CD drive reports drive error [23:52] have fun [23:52] rkvirani, hmmm isk [23:52] idk [23:52] !dvd | stephen_ [23:52] stephen_: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:52] astley, no configuration [23:52] worked for me [23:52] yeah, its a usb drive... [23:52] s3r3n1t7: do i cleck it? [23:52] astley, yes [23:52] rkvirani, did amarok do an error too? [23:53] rkvirani, if not, just out of randomness try rebooting it should work flawlessly [23:53] sudokill: k [23:53] s3r3n1t7: i click the line and it just puts the black edit bar, nothing else [23:54] I gotta admin ituenes does that really well [23:54] astley, you select the option, then you have to select ok to continue. [23:54] does what [23:54] astley, use tab to jump to the OK field === Krabbe is now known as krabbe [23:54] sudokill: imports and synocs to an ipod... with album art and all [23:54] ok [23:54] hihihih [23:54] rkvirani, well, it is itunes, designed for ipod lol [23:55] dedicated c ripper is better [23:55] cd* [23:55] Movie Player nee` Totem won't seek mp3z! [23:55] can't drag the slider [23:55] PalinBachman2012, try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:56] thats not it ZykoticK9 [23:56] astley, once it's done installing do a make clean, make and a sudo make install. Then reboot and test it again. That should make it work, if not please ask the channel again. It's nearly 1am here and i need to get up early, I'm sorry I can't stay to see this to the end. Please do drop me a PM to let me know if it worked, ok? [23:57] s3r3n1t7: ok [23:57] sudokill: yeah... [23:57] rkvirani, im not sure about album art etc how to import it ive never used an ipod [23:57] how to i go back a derectory in terminal again?
