[00:00] u shouldnt ever need a force install however u do that [00:00] sudokill: he wants to install a 32 bit package on his 64 bit installation [00:00] I have ubuntu lucid 64 bit installed sudokill [00:00] dodgy [00:00] teage, "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture foo.deb" be sure you have ia32 libs installed! [00:00] teage i thought u meant install ubuntu 32 bit sorry [00:00] renoteck: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [00:00] why don?t starts the x server [00:00] Zykotick9 : THANKS === rayy_ is now known as rayy [00:00] teage what r u trying to install [00:00] sudokill: gens-gs [00:01] tanath: I re-installed network-manager-gnome. Now I am getting something called "network monitor" in my applet list, but it's not the same as the usual "network manager" nor does it show up in any of the indicator-applets [00:01] hmm idk what that is [00:01] sega emulator [00:01] teage: is it on getdeb? [00:01] sega emulator [00:01] ok [00:01] brb [00:02] thanks: ActionParsnip [00:02] Arachon: hrm. well, i don't have a network manager applet in the list of applets either, but i think i have the one you're after and it seems to be part of the indicator applets [00:02] Arachon: i'm guessing it's related to the fact that you rolled your own [00:02] tanath: Okay... But you only have network-manager-gnome installed? [00:02] Arachon: whereas i upgraded [00:02] tanath: That does sound a bit odd, it should be the same repos, no? [00:03] Arachon: i do have that one and not the other, yes [00:03] i wonder if its because im a guest or because it wasnt a good question [00:04] teage u can try --force-architecture on the package ive never tried it and dont know if its stable [00:04] i doubt it [00:04] i just quick googled it [00:04] Guest82965: i'd boot livecd to fsck the partiton [00:04] Hi, I'm trying to change some keys around on my keyboard, specifically to add ø to my keyboard (trying to use danish dvorak), can anyone help? [00:04] Guest82965, you might want to boot from a LiveCD/USB and fsck your / partition? [00:04] Arachon: i also have gnome-applets which provides /usr/lib/gnome-applets/accessx-status-applet which could be what you're looking for [00:05] Arachon: not sure what that one does. only network-related-looking one [00:05] tanath: As do I I'm afraid... [00:05] tanath: As far as I know, the one I'm looking for is called nm-applet [00:06] Arachon: searching that turns up network-manager-gnome which i have installed... [00:06] tanath: Yeah, same [00:06] not a problem but am curious...when I reboot from windows the ip I get in xubuntu live cd is different than windows but if I cold boot it is the same. any idea's why? [00:07] zykoticK9: is / automatically a partition, or do you have to make it that way, because I never manually made any partitions. But if it is naturally that way then I can certainly access the comand line and do the fsck command. And so do I set my BIOS order to the usb or cd? [00:07] Arachon: which provides nm-applet === ^ is now known as derp [00:07] does ubuntu still give out free ubuntu discs? [00:07] Arachon: and nm-connection-editor [00:07] zykoticK9: and thank you very much by the way [00:07] steiner: shipit is closed [00:07] steiner- i dont think they do [00:08] Guest82965, if you used "automatic" partitioning in any way during install, then you have a / partition. BIOS USB/CD is computer specific, you may or may not have too. [00:08] tanath: Oh god, I'm an idiot. Sorry for wasting your time, it showed up when I ran it through the terminal... Should have done that first thing... My apologies <.< [00:08] steiner: you can download it though and put it on a bootable USB [00:08] Arachon: haha [00:08] yeah, ive done it, i was just wondering [00:08] lapaga: old boot and window are sharing same mac, livecd is not? [00:08] cold [00:09] almoxarife, no the mac is the same [00:09] I tried running an (admittedly older, Intrepid Ibex?) release of Ubuntu on an older computer as a live OS, and I got an error message saying that the CPU was an i686, and that I needed a different kernel - do I need a different ISO? [00:09] ZykoticK9: oh okay I'm sure it automatically did that during the install. I tried to switch from windows to ubuntu and learn about linux while on Ubuntu, but even though it's user-friendly for a distro, I should've kept a distance while I learned. I'll definitely make a bootable usb thank you very much [00:09] ezzeloharr, i think ubuntu is i3886 only [00:10] Guest82965, best of luck! [00:10] Installed with dependency errors but it works just fine. weird. [00:10] sudokill: fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu, okay, thanks. [00:10] woot woot!!! thanks guys [00:10] ezzeloharr, np [00:10] fu2 [00:10] cheers [00:10] lol [00:10] ezzeloharr, sudokill i386 is really i686... [00:10] lapaga: using different wifi signals? [00:11] almoxarife, nope...no wifi [00:11] ezzeloharr: sounds like you used a 64bit OS on a 32bit CPU, that wont work [00:11] sudokill: there is ppc and 64bit ubuntu available [00:11] sudokill: its not i386 only [00:12] okay - that sounds like me, I'll try again with a 32bit OS [00:12] hi! Please somebody help... Running on Natty 64 bit. When I try to safely remove a usb hard disk, there is a kernel panic some seconds later. Where can I start to look? On Maverick I never experienced this problem [00:12] lapaga: :) magic? someone more verse may have the answer [00:12] ezzeloharr, i know dw lol [00:12] almoxarife, thanks:) just seems sort of strange to me [00:13] ActionParsnip, I know theres 64 bit lol heard people having problems with i686 b4 tho [00:13] i know ubuntu is optimized for i386 [00:13] i can`t see my evolution calendar appointments on the natty panel. It used to work on maverick. Does anyone know what happens? [00:13] (00:09:50) sudokill: ezzeloharr, i think ubuntu is i3886 only [00:14] people have had problems with i686 cpu [00:14] sudokill: i suspect i used a 64bit version, probably my fault [00:14] sudokill: so if you know there is 64bit...... [00:15] is livecd a virtualmachine? [00:15] :) [00:16] almoxarife: no, its a live cd [00:16] lapaga: whats your wireless device chipset? [00:17] almoxarife: you can run the livecd in a VM [00:17] How do I disable the nouveau driver at boot in 11.04? This doesn't work: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Nouveau#Disabling nouveau [00:17] KM0201, I do not use wireless [00:17] lapaga: oh ok, thought you said you had a wireless prob. [00:18] What is the best usb tv plug in device for Ubuntu Linux [00:18] joh: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [00:18] ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks [00:18] I searched the internet and I cannot find shit on usb internet tv [00:18] !hcl | Quantum_Ion [00:18] Quantum_Ion: 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 [00:18] thanks [00:19] KM0201, thanks anyways...it is not really a problem just was curious why my ip is different in xubuntu than it is in windows [00:19] Quantum_Ion: i'm not aware of any good ones that are USB... few PCI ones are pretty good. [00:19] lapaga: hard telling... most routers you can tell them to assign an IP to a particular PC. [00:20] lapaga: if you've not manually assigned IP's from the router, maybe something had the other Ip occupied when you turned on Ubuntu?.. [00:20] ActionParsnip: I am trying to figure out if the issue is the same as mine, I can run 64bit native, not virtual, virtualbox or otherwise, turns out the chip does not allow for vt-x , took me a while to get over the fact I was not going to run 64bit anything in virtualbox [00:20] KM0201, no router either [00:20] lapaga: no router?.. then how do you have an IP. === robrt`_ is now known as robrt` [00:21] KM0201, dhcp enabled get ip from cable company [00:21] almoxarife: i dont have any CPUs newer than 1999 so mine don't support vt-x [00:21] almoxarife: if your cpu doesn't support it, you cant do it [00:22] ActionParsnip: yep [00:23] lapaga: you don't have a router between you and your cable company? [00:24] almoxarife, it is a cable modem as far as I know it is not a router [00:25] and that would not explain why it is different in windows and xubuntu [00:25] lapaga: which ip? public or internal? [00:25] almoxarife, public [00:26] lapaga: if it is giving you a wireless signal, it is a combination router/modem [00:26] lapaga: can you connect more than 1 device at a time to it? [00:26] KM0201, no wireless and no I can only connect my computer to it [00:26] lapaga: meaning, can you have more than 1 wireless device, or 1 wired and 1 wirelss, device. [00:27] lapaga: back to 2 macs then [00:27] lapaga: can you look at the model name/number on the router and tell me what it is... i find that pretty hard to believe [00:27] I don't find a dropbox menu on the right click menu ......as shown in the dropbox web site .......http://bit.ly/lFJCv0 .....Using 10.04 Gnome 2.x [00:28] ActionParsnip: Thanks, that seemed to work. That will fall back to the vesa driver..? [00:29] hi [00:29] lapaga: on the bright side, your isp has given you two accounts thus far [00:29] having problems installing ubuntu on my netbook [00:29] atlambert: what kind of probs? [00:29] KM0201, all it says on a lable is ambit and it only has one input from you ethernet cable [00:29] in the past, i've been able to install ubuntu via usb on my netbook [00:29] joh: it will be using the nv driver [00:29] i can't get the usb to boot, though :/ i can go into windows (which is the current os) and see the installer. but it has that wubi thing for installing ubuntu along side windows [00:30] lapaga: ok, can you have a wired connection, and a wireless connection? (at the same time?) [00:30] i want to KILL windows and everything, and just start fresh w/ ubuntu [00:30] i can't get it to boot into it though :/ [00:30] KM0201, no [00:30] is there an easy way to install all the e17 dependencies before starting the compilation ? [00:30] atlambert: don't kill windows if you're having trouble w/ this. [00:30] i feel like the problem is w/ the contents of the iso [00:30] lapaga: wel, i'd be really interested in hear the model # of that router. [00:30] KM0201 :/ windows 7... runs like trash on this netbook [00:30] Hi all, I need bit of help with a problem: I'm trying to reset my old Dell computer to factory settings. However, their CTRL+F11 on startup hint from manual doesnt work. I think this is because long ago I installed dual boot with Ubuntu, and now it's loading the GRUB loader on boot instead of the Dell loader (i think?). Is there a way to remove GRUB loader, so maybe the CTRL+F11 thing will work? [00:31] atlambert: how much experience do you have w/ ubuntu? [00:31] km0201 it's been fine in the past [00:31] KM0201, the strange thing is if I do a cold boot I get the same ip as windows [00:31] lapaga: i dunno, what you're saying really doesn't make sense [00:31] KM0201 decent but i'm not a power user. i usually end up reinstalling ubuntu because of updates being weird [00:31] lapaga: is it giving you a 192.168.x.x IP? [00:32] lethu, I just did apt-get install e17whatever and had no problem with any dependencies [00:32] atlambert: i'd really encourage you not to nuke windows, and instead set up a dual boot [00:32] KM0201 dont have space for that [00:32] jiohdi, I am installing it through svn [00:32] andrejk: What about just pressing F11, without the ctrl key? [00:32] is there a UNE channel? [00:32] KM0201, no- it has nothing to do with an internal ip - it is only the public ip that changes...like I said it is not a problem I was just curious as to why [00:32] jiohdi, is there a way to install just the dependencies ? [00:33] atlambert: you installed ubuntu via wubi? [00:33] KM0201 it takes quite a long time to uninstall everything. as i said, performance is awful [00:33] RevSpecies116: I can try [00:33] lapaga: dunno, hard telling [00:33] does anyone know how to change mouse sensivity? whats the program that gnome ubuntu uses? is there a console program? [00:33] almoxarife no. doesnt that mean my only option is install alongside windows? [00:33] atlambert: well did you try to boot the USB? if so, what happened? [00:33] i dont know where to start for power management, everything was fine back in the 9 versions.. any app i may missing or smtng? [00:33] lxinput is segfaulting and I need an alternative [00:33] Sounds like a bios keypress, on my laptop my key to press is F1 [00:33] just F1 [00:33] KM0201 yep i try to boot from usb and... nothing happens. just launches windows as normal [00:33] lethu, if you know what they are, there are websites with all the individual pieces, but thats really a hard way to do it [00:33] sometimes it is the del key [00:33] atlambert: you probably need to put the USB device first in your boot order. [00:33] km0201 i tried unetbootin and the default ubuntu usb creator to format this [00:34] ok I'll try all those [00:34] km0201 tried that in setup (f2). tried selecting usb using ESC at boot [00:34] KM0201, if you do a whois on me...the ip that is showing is not the same as windows is what I mean [00:34] OKies, andrejk :) Do come back and let us know if that works or doesn't work :) [00:34] KM0201 for what it's worth, i'm booting from an ipod. :/ [00:34] jiohdi, ok [00:35] lethu, is there a reason you have to do it the hard way? [00:35] shit i actually gotta run >< [00:35] atlambert: a wubi install of ubuntu will place the complete filesystem in one file, I ran it that way for along time, and adds ubuntu as a second OS [00:35] ..\ [00:35] jiohdi, svn should be the latest version [00:35] almoxarife, a wubi install can very easily become unstable after a single update and crash everything [00:35] almoxarife: wubi isn't gonna solve his problem, and wubi creates far more (potential) problems than is necessary [00:36] almoxarife i have like a gb of free space, and it takes years to uninstall one thing in windows because it chugs awfully on this ancient netbook [00:36] guys, what is the ubuntu equivalent of the path environment variable in windows? [00:36] shit i gotta afk [00:36] i'll be back in like an hour [00:36] msg me if you have any ideas :/ [00:36] thanks [00:37] LAcan, $PATH [00:37] atlambert: trust me, the unstall for wubi ubuntu is quick, as a matter of fact you can unstall it by simply deleting one folder 'ubuntu' [00:37] atlambert: please keep it family friendly [00:37] RevSpecies116: I tried F11, F1, Del, they all lead me to "GNU GRUB", a big list with all kinds of Ubuntu's and my Windows XP. Nothing that says "restore", as the manual says there should be after pressing CTRL+F11 [00:37] thanks jiohdi .. do you know how I edit it? [00:38] lacan try $PATH --man [00:38] :( andrejk [00:38] Maybe I overwrote the partition with one of my Ubuntu's... :S [00:38] That is possible andrejk [00:38] almoxarife: you're just repeating yourself, and not listening to what he's telling you [00:38] I've got some weird behaviour here. High I/O load seems to cause X rendering to stutter, even with the vesa driver... [00:38] jiohdi, ya there is no man page as far as I can tell? that command returns an error [00:38] I do have a "Dell Utility Partition", but that leads me to some screen where I can make some tests [00:38] almoxarife, the problem is that wubi is a file within windows and a single update can alter the pointers to find the kernel and crash everything [00:39] * KM0201 agrees w/ jiohdi [00:39] RevSpecies116: I just need to wipe my computer because I want to sell it :( Dont want my personal data in there and stuff [00:39] at least w/ a normal dual boot system, usually, at least 1 OS will boot... you bricka wubi install, neitehr will boot [00:39] jiohdi: you may have had those issues, I did not, I found the fix to that issue and it was 100% fool proof! [00:39] KM0201, happened to me three times before I found out what was going on [00:39] While 'stress -d 2' is running, a simple 'ls /usr/bin' sometimes takes as long as 18 seconds. [00:40] back for a min [00:40] andrejk: there could be a liveCD version of what you want [00:40] zerothis sorry [00:40] Doing 'ls /usr/bin' from ssh, however, is fast. [00:40] almoxarife, then you should also share that part as it is critical to the success of wubi [00:40] almoxarife: it still doesn't matter, please tell me how he can use wubi, w/ only 1gig of free space... (again, you're just repeating yourself, and not listening to why he can't use wubi) [00:40] jiohdi: I would love to [00:40] government strenght deletion on a livecd - I have no idea what distro that would be, though. gparted? [00:42] RevSpecies116, ubuntu rescure remix? [00:42] rescue* [00:42] jiohdi: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Wubi_9.10&oldid=214 [00:42] KM0201: Forgive me for being late to the party, but wubi with lucid rocks and if your crafty you can symlink your ubuntu home Directory important subdirectories like Documents, Photos etc etc to your windows ones :) [00:42] look up nuke live cd. I forgot the full name but there is a really tiny OS made exactly for secure hard drive wiping [00:42] ubuntucork: you're not only late to the conversation, what you've said is totally irrlevant [00:43] almoxarife KM0201 yeah i don't quite understand either. i'm gonna try play with wubi and see if i'm missing something here [00:43] atlambert: you only ave 1gig of space.. hwo the heck are you gonna use wubi? [00:43] KM0201: fair enough. I'm a trainee politician [00:43] rescue remix will safely/government-shead delete files, jiohdi ? andrejk is preparing to sell on his computer and wants it to be securly wipede [00:44] atlambert: i'd strongly advise you not to do that.. but hey, we all gotta learn on our own.. [00:44] shead = shread [00:44] atlambert: the point about wiping windows is valid, don't do it, unless you are willing to start from scratch with a virgin netbook [00:44] KM0201: can the person concerned not use a 4GB USB stick? dead cheap these days. [00:44] * KM0201 facepalms [00:44] ubuntucork: seriously, scroll up. [00:45] RevSpecies116, not sure if it has that sort of strength. [00:45] KM0201 2.65 gb to be exact [00:45] Frustration will only give you wrinkles, KM0201 ;) [00:45] how about i reframe the question [00:45] RevSpecies116, you can get blowfish from omziff they have that kind of strenght [00:46] wubi is a authorized method of install, wubi works, not everyone wants to run linux terminal ubuntu, power to the user, its suppose to be easy! [00:46] KM0201: I only see about the 1GB space with wubi, so from what I see the question about spalshing out 10 quid on a 4GB stick [00:46] is that on a livecd, jiohdi ? [00:46] RevSpecies116: i'm not frustrated... i just can't believe he not only is talking irrelevant, he's suggesting somethign he's already said he's having an issue w/ (booting from a USB)... so now.. he wants him to use wubi, on a hard drive that has about 2gigs of space, or he wants him to use a USB, on a machine eh can't figure out how to boot a USB on... [00:46] is still valid :) [00:46] how do i (a) wipe windows on my netbook, and then (b) install ubuntu? [00:46] ubuntucork: no its not [00:46] aaaaah right...oops!!! [00:46] * KM0201 sighs [00:46] RevSpecies116, not sure about that part [00:46] preferrably in one step [00:46] I didnt see before i came in, so now i have you!! [00:47] almoxarife: just good to give a try to ubuntu, for daily usage better do a real install [00:47] RevSpecies116: I'm in partition magic, booting from a Ubuntu Live CD, and I *DO* see a "Dell Restore" partition. It has 2.4Gb used stuff in it [00:47] atlambert, just install Ubuntu and have it overwrite Windows [00:47] Mwthink that's the problem [00:47] RevSpecies116: I just need to boot from it somehow [00:47] Mwthink i can't get the usb to boot [00:47] Mwthink: not a good idea unless you have backups :-) [00:48] atlambert: how much hd space do you have? [00:48] almoxarife 2.65 gb [00:48] ubuntucork: We shall assume all backups are already done [00:48] * KM0201 backing out o this conversation, because the advice given here is so ridiculous, i don't want my name associated with it [00:48] KM0201 haha [00:48] I'm having problems with the startup disk creator. The bootable usbs is makes don't work right. Has anyone noticed this? [00:48] mouse ME [00:48] mouse ME [00:48] RevSpecies116: Assuming backups, keeping small computer shops in business all this time ;-) [00:49] mouse: i preffer to use unetbootin or multyboot [00:49] Let's just resolve the problem for this chap, eh, ubuntucork [00:49] Kill Bill? ;-) [00:49] mouse: Plug your stick and see if bios detect it (it may be unbootable stick) [00:49] hi, I have a broadcom wifi card but i don't have a network cable available to me. Usually i have to install this driver from the hardware drivers tab in the ubuntu administration menu. Can I download the driver and install it manually? [00:49] xangua, Yeah but even unetbootin hasn't been doing so well. I'll look into multyboot though. [00:50] qin, It's bootable. [00:50] now, ubuntucork, for the sake of this help process, also assume that WUBI is out of the question: and continue from there [00:50] okdokey [00:50] mouse: In what way do they not work? [00:50] atlambert: KM0201 point is valid, my bad, forget wubi, you don't have the space, I am surprized, a 2g hard drive? don't fuckup windows, you might never load another system on that laptop/nettop what ever its called. [00:51] almoxarife: no swearing please [00:51] backup all data to a cloud service where possible, as using a USB drive is now out of the question or thus far assumed to be [00:51] IdleOne: sorry [00:51] with a 2GB HDD, wouldn't xubuntu or lubuntu be better? [00:51] RevSpecies116, puppy or quirky :) [00:51] DSL? [00:52] ubuntucork: He has installed ubuntu from USB before, it just happens to be the UNE version that will not boot from USB [00:52] RevSpecies116, or maybe ICEwm [00:52] Jordan_U, It keeps saying something like unable to locate linuz file or something like that. I found some forum that said if you change a path then it will boot right but then it just doesn't give an error message. [00:52] RevSpecies116: xubuntu and lubuntu, still require (more or less) the same amount of space as Ubuntu (maybe a tad less).. [00:53] i dobut he'd save much space going w/ either of those. [00:53] is it possible to manually install proprietary drivers in ubuntu? [00:53] almoxarife: atlambert there is also lubuntu, lxde [00:53] puppy can run in about 500mB [00:53] Ahh, OKies, KM0201 - didn't know that [00:53] RevSpecies116: lubuntu is probably the smallest of the 4... but.. it's still pretty close.. we're talking only a couple 100mb i'd bet. [00:53] RevSpecies116: I hate to admit it but with space at a premium then the best but user unfriendly way to do it is with Slackware [00:54] you can also use business card debian and then only install exactly what you wish [00:54] ubuntucork: only unfriendly for those new to Linux ;) I've used Slackware - quite like all the time spent at the terminal ;) [00:54] can install only the drivers needed one by one etc etc. Not an easy task for a GUI setup [00:54] atlambert: let me understand, the HD came with 2gig or you are left with 2G? [00:55] puppy is reasonably noob friendly as long as you do not want to install something new [00:55] Im having abit of cmake issues, anyone able to give me some inputs from the errors : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/614742/ [00:55] RevSpecies116: I agree but, then I am runing Lucid and salivating about 12.04 LTS and not whats in between :) [00:55] Im having abit of cmake issues, anyone able to give me some inputs from the errors : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/614742/ (trying to compile opencv for android) [00:55] OKies, atlambert, we are at an empasse. How do you want to go forward? How much space do you have on your netbook if you formatted the whole thing? [00:55] 2GB seems like 'not the truth' so to speak [00:56] 2G is usually the recovery partition === Jino is now known as mackstar [00:56] Whats this mythical OS called "Windows" you speak of? ;-) [00:56] so to speak :) , kindness always === mackstar is now known as silverstarJJ [00:57] in 11.04, how do I change the folder that the "pictures" screensaver uses [00:57] how do I turn off unity intellihide without having maximized windows end up partially covered by the launcher? [00:57] ubuntucork: I also am on Lucid - and eagerly awaiting 12.04LTS (I only use the LTS releases). I'm sad that unity is not being backported to Lucid, though [00:58] Anyone know a good RSS reader? [00:58] kerebrus: google reader? [00:59] i have a process called mmpong-gl, thats the client of the mmpong game, is consuming most than half the cpu process, but is closed, and killing it whit sudo kill `pidof mmpong-gl` does nothing [01:00] Soupermanito: try killall mmpong-gl [01:00] did that [01:00] no luck [01:00] almoxarife any others? [01:00] IdleOne, is -9 next ;) Soupermanito [01:00] kerebrus: evolution? thunderbird?

[01:03] wait ill ask google [01:03] +"-9" [01:03] Soupermanito, it kills without asking for permission [01:04] I kill processes from 'system monitor' I am a sucker for a GUI [01:04] hola all [01:04] also tried that [01:04] Soupermanito, a regular kill basically asks the process to stop, the -9 just stops it [01:04] hola hiexpo [01:04] Soupermanito: then I guess you had no other choice :) [01:04] :D [01:04] yes thank you [01:05] i only realized because i had to kill another process and went to the system monitor and said WHAT?! [01:05] Soupermanito: just saying not to use -9 all the time because you might end up killing a process that is just taking a very long time to save work or something and you will lose that work. [01:05] Hi there [01:05] nah it was a game client [01:06] hol [01:06] anyway you know now :) [01:06] gol [01:06] gola [01:06] How can I find out on which /dev my cdrom is located?

I need to change every file owned by hihihi100:hihihi100 to dexter:dexter [01:10] users vs groups is a bad design [01:10] Usuario: the link ubottu sent you about permission also explains about changing ownership iirc [01:11] ah, I used sudo [01:11] but got a whole bunch of file now found errors [01:11] idleone, I dont see any highlighted link [01:11] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a multiboot box ... tried 11.04 and it hangs ... tried 10.10 and it hangs ... tried 10.04.2 and it hangs at a different spot [01:11] *not [01:11] Usuario, the command to change the owner would be "sudo chown dexter:dexter file.foo" but you'll need a fancy "find" command to find all files with user hihihi100 [01:11] !permission | Usuario [01:11] Usuario: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:12] while I'm on about personalization [01:12] zykotick9, yes, I need a find command, is there any? [01:12] how do i change the sound that plays when I sign on? [01:12] Usuario, yes - but "I" don't know how [01:12] for 11.04 and 10.10 it hangs after I click "Install Ubuntu" from the big window choice ... for 10.04.2 it makes to where it asks me for the keyboard and then it hangs [01:12] Skaperen: no issues with the install drive? [01:13] almoxarife: Slackware is running on it just fine ... and when I run Ubuntu as a live CD (try it mode) it works OK, reads the disk OK, etc [01:14] almoxarife: seems to be the install steps hanging ... I also tried running it by clicking on the install icon from live/try mode ... same hang [01:14] Skaperen: all these installs with networl support? [01:14] Skaperen, I have only seen that when there is some sort of disk corruption... if you wipe the entire disk and partitions that usually goes away [01:14] almoxarife: I let it sit there for 45 minutes with one of the 11.04 tries ... stayed hung right there with mouse rotor spinning [01:15] how can I output a public gpg key as ascii? something like http://dpaste.com/548109/ [01:15] jiohdi: well, I have other OSes on there [01:15] Skaperen, are you able to create a seperate partition and leave it completely empty, no formatting? [01:15] RevSpecies116: Downloaded Darik's Boot and Nuke. Looks like that'll work. w00t [01:16] jiohdi: yup ... even did it from within Ubuntu live/try mode a couple days ago for the initial partitioning [01:16] Usuario: for f in `find -user hihihi100`; do sudo chown dexter:dexter "$f"; done [01:16] jiohdi: but I installed Slackware and Fedora first then came back to Ubuntu ... maybe it's mad? [01:16] A quick solution that should work. [01:16] Skaperen, sorry, I am still a relative noob, out of ideas [01:17] Skaperen, I'd try booting with the nomodeset option, see if that makes any difference. Good luck. [01:17] ZykoticK9: how to do that? [01:18] anyone know why unity gets obliterated when you use a dock like docky or cairo or awn? [01:18] lajnold, I want to change the permissions from hihihi100:hihihi100 to dexter:dexter, not the other way round, as of now I cannot access the ubuntu GUI, I can only access the recovery mode terminal, are you saying that I should execute that as hihihi100, not as root or dexter? [01:18] Skaperen, press a button (space maybe) at the first graphic of the LiveCD then I think you get an F6 option for boot options - nomodeset is in there.

I'll go back to 11.04 and try that === Soupermanito is now known as Souperior [01:19] Usuario: Execute it as the user that has permission to use sudo.

[01:21] for f in `find -user hihihi100`; do sudo chown dexter:dexter "$f"; done [01:21] all that [01:21] lajnold, holy sh*t, so its --- for f in `find -user hihihi100`; do sudo chown dexter:dexter "$f" --- ? [01:22] If I just paused a script by ctrl-z how do I continue it again? [01:22] Usuario: Yeah. But change "" to the actual path. [01:22] Shariff: "fg" [01:22] thanks! [01:22] lajnold, it should be all my machine, is it ok if I write /usr ? [01:23] Usuario: The "home" directory is generally located under /home, so that's probably what you want to use.

[03:11] delphiwizard, soooo go d/l anything thats on the friggin Canonical [03:11] delphiwizard: i think the biggest problem, is you have no idea what piracy is [03:11] ZykoticK9: I found the problem ... the Ubuntu installer does not support GPT partition table [03:11] Incorrect, delphiwizard - Canonical has put good money into those dev's [03:11] Anyone know why Ubuntu randomly logs out? [03:12] So in no way shape or form is anyone in this situation being a 'pirate' :) [03:12] delphiwizard, just get off the internet, its one big piracy...so disconnect yourself [03:12] cuz it makes you pirate games xylonic [03:12] xylonic: you're probbaly gonna have to look at your logs and see why its happening....

[03:36] hi folks. i upgraded to 11.04 and now i get dumped to grub, like it lost my bootargs [03:36] i can boot in manually via grub (since im here ;), but struggling to get my bootargs to get persisted between reboots [03:36] and to make it more interseting, my linux is running in vmware [03:36] hello everyone~ [03:36] [qin] ok, but i cant explain what i am seeing in nano [03:37] i know i am novice, but that is stupid, i am going to use goto line [03:37] !bootinfo | antibodies [03:37] antibodies: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [03:37] hey guys, what's the 32 bit package of OpenSSL? [03:37] i come here for your help~ [03:38] wyvern666: I do not do nano, but it sounds like linewrap option, test with different terminal size. [03:38] ok tanks ubottu [03:38] Jordan_U: no, I just ssh'd in and did a do-release-upgrade and then it didn't boot anymore. [03:39] Jordan_U: I just mounted the partition myself and did a new grub-install, so i'll see where that gets me [03:40] Aginor: sorry for being so naggy but are you still there? [03:40] my grub menu.lst root does point the right disk uuid at least... and menu.lst seems to have the right vmlinuz/initrd img [03:43] antibodies: What version are you running? [03:43] i just remove a package named xkb-data unexpected and then the os(10.04) can not start to X or to tty1~6. i am now in the X by livecd, should i copy the xkb-data from this temp os to the origin one [03:43] i just removed a package named xkb-data unexpected and then the os(10.04) can not start to X or to tty1~6. i am now in the X by livecd, should i copy the xkb-data from this temp os to the origin one [03:44] Jordan_U: so I guess at this point I'm looking for a way to reinstall grub on an lvm (with a separate /boot partition)... from a live cd. I haven't found a guide that combines all three of those elements, and I'm pretty hesitant to try anything drastic myself. [03:44] 11.04 / grub .97 [03:44] hy.. [03:44] antibodies, you removed 1.99 and installed .97? [03:44] antibodies: Anything against grub2? [03:45] no, it's just what comes out when i do grub --version. yes it seems odd [03:45] I bootinfo | antibodies [03:45] number9, yes [03:45] !! ootinfo | antibodies [03:45] antibodies: I guess you kept upgrading from 8.10? [03:45] number9, let me have a quick google [03:46] ! bootinfo | antibodies [03:46] antibodies: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems.

[03:46] hello Aginor: [03:46] i have dowlload vns viewer but its in deb format and i cant open it [03:46] how can i open a deb format file? [03:47] DANIEL-ALONE, open? [03:47] i screwed up my audio setup by trying to install alsa from source [to get this realtek audio card working]... but after uninstall i my earlier setup doesn't work, can i reconfigure the default ubuntu alsa setup? [03:47] DANIEL-ALONE: vns viewer? [03:47] DANIEL-ALONE: double click it, dpkg will handle the rest [03:47] DANIEL-ALONE: any type of vnc viewer, should be in the repositories, you shouldn't need to download a .deb file [03:47] yes [03:47] hello nit-wit [03:47] number9, not finding anything else... So you can log in? XFCE loads? Then you get logged out? [03:47] hello [03:47] kanoe, hello [03:48] should i ask for help? [03:48] !help | kanoe [03:48] kanoe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:48] i did a series of upgrades, from 9 i believe, not 8. but yes it was chained [03:48] antibodies, can you run the script and pastebin the text? [03:48] i just removed a package named xkb-data unexpected and then the os(10.04) can not start to X or to tty1~6. i am now in the X by livecd, should i copy the xkb-data from this temp os to the origin one [03:49] no I don't know how to explain it. It looks like it begins to startup, definately not a password failure then a vterm pops up (looks like an x-restart type thing) then the login screen pops back up. The first time on a fresh boot takes a while but after the first fail it is only a second until I am presented with the login screen again [03:49] hello everyone [03:49] where is repositories [03:49] am unable to open blogspot.com on my lappy with chrome, ff and chromium browser can anybody resolve this issue [03:49] Aginor: sorry forgot to tag you in that [03:49] DANIEL-ALONE: ubuntu software center?.. synaptic? [03:49] !repositories [03:49] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [03:49] ? [03:49] where is repositories? [03:50] number9, do you have an .xinitrc or similar thing in your ~? [03:50] DANIEL-ALONE: you need to do some reading on using the package manager before proceeding any further... [03:50] Aginor: Also I can login on a vterm, which is how I am talking to you now, and on vterm 8 I am running it as a new user, which allows me to google things but no luck so far. [03:50] DANIEL-ALONE, world wide [03:50] !synaptic | DANIEL-ALONE [03:50] DANIEL-ALONE: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [03:50] what do you consider to be the best repositorys [03:50] kanoe, you want to reinstall the package, not copy the files [03:50] ?? [03:50] I am unable to open www.blogspot.com with any browser can any body solve this issue [03:50] abhijain: i get 404'd there [03:50] sux [03:51] number9, there's always the drastic option of clobbering all of your dot-files and selectively restoring them [03:51] what kind of browser are you using?? [03:51] Aginor: looks like no. just .xsession_errors [03:51] thewaz, there are all uniform repos for the database there basically all the same. [03:51] Aginor: yeah I considered that, just that seems kind of drastic [03:51] Aginor:thanks! should reinstall the package from the temp os to my origin os [03:51] number9, your users owns it's ~ and has write access, yes? [03:52] KM0201: YES 404 [03:52] abhijain: ok.. the problem isn't you.. .it's the website... i'm not sure why you think it's an ubuntu issue. [03:52] Aginor:how can i do to reinstall it ? [03:52] kanoe, boot it and login to a cli, then use "apt-get install " to restore X [03:52] KM0201: thanx [03:52] let me check, but I imagine if I didn't I wouldn't be able to login on a vterm? [03:53] Aginor: forgot the tag again sorry. [03:54] abhijain: it is weird though, cuz i just pinged the site, and the ping completes w/ 0 packet loss.. so it looks like that site, just has a "404" graphic up... rather thant he site actually 404ing [03:54] number9, it's the lazy option, but it might be the fastest way to see if it's some settings or not. do "mkdir olddot; cp -r .??* olddot" in your ~ and it should make a backup of all of your dot-files satisfy yourself that it looks right, then do "rm -rf .??*" to delete them. Do NOT remove the question marks or you will potentially delete a lot. [03:55] Aginor: yes I do own and have write access. What about the folder ~/cache/sessions? I just can boot a recovery console to, so it seems like something with sessions [03:55] number9, try to get rid of that one too first then :D [03:56] Aginor: Yeah I wanted to avoid that though because cp -r doesn't preserve permissions and other stuff unless the -a option is used and even then I don't trust it. [03:56] Aginor: what is the command to restart x? [03:57] number9: sudo service gdm stop [03:58] qin: on xfce too? Also I think that just stops gnome desktop manager. I want to force x to restart [03:58] number9, sudo service dm restart I would assume [03:58] number9: also rsync (or tar) to get permission proper [03:59] number9: xdm? [04:01] qin: Aginor: huh xdm doesn't work x tab completes only to x11-common. Alright I'll be back in a couple but testing is going to kill my internet. Thanks agian [04:03] number9, try "ps aux | grep dm " and see what shows up :D === eliezer is now known as eliezer_ [04:04] hihihi [04:04] i return from earlier! [04:05] Welcome to the future! [04:06] Is it possible to reset the hard disk subsystem/module/whatever without a reboot? [04:06] i have a problem: i have downloaded ubuntu, and i want to install it on my netbook via usb. i have done this installation many times but i can't get my blasted usb (an old ipod) to boot up. i want to wipe my netbook and install ubuntu, but i can't boot from usb for some reason. help? [04:06] qin <3 [04:07] atlambert: Is bios see your ipod in boot options? that may be HD not flash. [04:08] qin: setup says [USB:Apple iPod] [04:08] what is the size of this file -rw-rw-r-- 1 accountname pg1599844 11321425920 Sep 20 2010 virtograph.com.100920.tar [04:09] how can I get the "legend" [04:09] tripelb: ls -lh [04:09] Aginor: qin: no luck. [04:09] Is it possible to reset the hard disk subsystem/module/whatever without a reboot? [04:09] cheapie: depends on what you are trying to restat [04:09] afew years back when I used windows and having to install sound video drivers and drivers for modem mouse or even keyboard there was sth called BOIS upadte which i did it sometimes ; I want to know if there is any way to upadte my bois without resorting to windows OS? [04:10] qin thanks [04:10] number9: Boot, shift, e, add text instead of spalsh [04:10] anyon eelse have any ideas? :( [04:10] th0r: I have an aging hard drive that sometimes returns read errors, and nothing will make it even try to read again until the computer is rebooted. [04:10] afew years back when I used windows and having to install sound video drivers and drivers for modem mouse or even keyboard there was sth called BOIS upadte which i did it sometimes ; I want to know if there is any way to upadte my bois without resorting to windows OS? [04:11] cheapie: that isn't a module or subsystem....sounds like a controller problem [04:11] th0r: So is it possible to reset a PCI device without rebooting then? [04:12] number9: sudo service gdm stop [04:12] amin`, my never ASUS motherboard actually support updating with a USB key from inside BIOS, no Windows required. [04:12] cheapie: not to my knowledge. You might try unmounting and remounting it, but if it is the main hard drive you will lose it as soon as you unmount it [04:12] number9: yes on xubuntu [04:12] amin`: far as I know some BIOS will have a floppy update you can run, by now it's near obsolete as is the floppy drives. [04:12] th0r: It's not my main hard drive. Ubuntu won't fit in 45 MB... [04:12] qin: thanks. That first one is hold shift during boot to edit options? [04:13] cheapie: then try unmounting and remounting, might fix it without the reboot [04:13] cheapie: you know you're on borrowed time with a hard drive that returns errors, right? [04:13] number9: Yes, to get to grub menu. xubuntu uses gdm [04:14] th0r: I'm not even accessing a mounted FS when this happens. Loshki: I've just been "playing" with it and sometimes knocking the head off track. [04:14] IN my case IT says install the software and put pattery and plug the battery and connect to internet and run it [04:14] can anyone tell me the cli command to fully remove a program, config files and all [04:15] paul_, "sudo apt-get remove -purge foo" I believe, still won't remove any config files from your home directory [04:15] th0r: OK... So is there a way to tell a drive to seek to a certain cylinder then? [04:16] paul_: something like: sudo apt-get purge .... [04:16] cheapie: not that I know of [04:16] cheapie: I would reformat the drive, and if the read errors continue scrap the drive. [04:16] paul_, sorry, looks like you many want "sudo apt-get purge foo" [04:17] th0r: If it helps, it's a Seagate ST-157A (CHS only, PIO 0) on an old VIA PCI controller. [04:17] Thanks guys, it didn't like the -purge, so I ran the command iwthout it [04:17] th0r: Please wait while I look something up... [04:18] TIL the mousewheel reacts to the area of the screen that it hovers over (what's the right technical way of saying this?) If I am over chrome tabs, it changes tabs. If I am over a document, it scrolls the document -changes pages. If I am in xchat, it scrolls the backscroll. Amazing. [04:20] qin: thanks I had no idea. [04:20] numique: Neither me. [04:20] th0r: The documentation I have been looking for has been vaporized. Oh well. [04:21] In aptitude, when I view a package's description, I get to see what other packages depend on it. The problem is, most of the time I'm only interested in seeing the installed ones. How do I filter? === robinhoode is now known as robinhoode|away === griskalt is now known as grisk [04:27] i need help on my netbook [04:28] Jordan_U: I got it fixed. :) Took a lot of manual configuration, but I just needed a quick fix to bootstrap it up [04:28] after i installed 10.04 on my netbook it cant detect my ethernet connection [04:30] nmesis, meaning that it isn't showing your ethernet card as an option at all, or that you can't get a connection with the one that is present [04:30] the second [04:31] but it can detect the wi fi of my neighbhor [04:31] what is the output of ifconfig [04:32] Why won't Warsow work with a launcher? I have the command as /home/vustom/Desktop/Vustom/Jolicloud/Games/warsow/warsow.i386, but it doesn't work, if I go and open warsow.i386 in a folder it works just fine.. [04:32] why didy ou install 10.04? [04:32] does any one have any info on lfs? [04:32] its the best version of ubuntu for me [04:33] ... obviously..lol [04:33] Vustom, maybe set the $PATH variable [04:33] cores_, try #lfs [04:33] jiohdi Huh..? [04:33] i know quite a few people who much prefer 10.04 netbook to 10.10+ [04:34] Vustom, $PATH tells the system where to find binaries to run [04:34] i tried 11.04 on my desktop [04:34] but i think its heavy [04:34] im sticking with 10.10 [04:34] jiohdi What do I put in the command then, so the launcher works? [04:34] jiohdi I'm new to this. C: [04:35] noisecontrol: dnno, i use 10.10 (and 11.04 for that matter) quite successfully on a netbook... i guess i could see if it was "april 2010" when you installed it, but the next LTS will be out in less than a year.. I'd install the current version, or even 10.10.. keep it current until the LTS comes up, then upgrade to the LTS and stay there if you like at that point [04:35] Vustom, I am not 100% sure, however when you tell the $PATH were to find the binaries it should be able to run whats at that path location. [04:35] next time i bother to upgrade im probably going with a mint xfce [04:35] jiohdi I'm confused. :c [04:35] is there a local mail address that default to junk? [04:35] Vustom, PATH doesn't really have anything to do with a Launcher [04:36] is there available drivers for ethernet for linux [04:36] :) [04:36] nmesis, it sounds like it's being recognized fine [04:36] email address like /dev/null [04:37] they only offer M$ drivers in their website [04:37] nmesis, probably 99% of ethernet cards should work OOTB (much lower for wireless ;) [04:37] if it's showing up in your network connections you need to troubleshoot your connection not your card [04:37] * Vustom is confused. [04:37] nmesis, again, what is the output of ifconfig [04:37] nmesis, lspci output in paste.ubuntu.com [04:37] w8 ill copy [04:37] man ls -la [04:37] nmesis, also output of ifconfig [04:37] Vustom, ALT+F2 then type in your full path to warsow.i386. Does it work? [04:37] * KM0201 waits.. [04:38] nmesis, dont paste here use paste.ubuntu.com [04:38] I was trying to have a new/default apache2 install. I used apt-get to purge apache2, then manually deleted /etc/apache2/. I figured when I called apt-get install, it would reinstall the configuration files. It doesn't, and apache2 won't start without the config files. I googled some more and found instructions that said to remove apache22-common, but the removal is interrupted, for the same reasons as the last post here: http://ubuntuf [04:38] Vustom, one way to test if I am right is to take the folder and put it into something already $PATH defined such as /etc [04:38] Zyko, no, the screen blinks white for about a millisecond then nothing happens.. [04:38] Vustom, please tab complete people's nicknames or they wont see your response [04:39] Vustom, zyko [04:39] Vustom, if you cant alt+f2 then a launcher won't work either - are you sure that is the correct binary? [04:40] ZykoticK9: I'll check. [04:40] Vustom, open a terminal - and type in the full path to the warsow.i386 - do you get any error output? [04:40] i cannot paste it there i use my desktop to chat here [04:40] so my question is, what can I do to get a new apache2 install, which also installs the config files like the first time? [04:41] nmesis, then write it down and copy to paste.ubuntu.com [04:41] ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614794/ [04:41] yes im doing it now XD [04:41] Bops, you might want to try the --reinstall option to apt-get [04:42] Vustom, "Error: Error during initialization: Could not find any shaders!" this is NOT a bash/PATH issue - something else is wrong here [04:42] Bops use synaptic completely remove apache2 and it would also remove configuration files [04:42] ZykoticK9: no luck :) [04:42] Bops, sorry, i have no ideas. Good luck. [04:42] obengdako: is there any command-line version? This is a server. [04:42] ZykoticK9: If I go to the file path and double click it the application works just fine.. [04:43] Vustom, sorry - I have no idea. [04:43] Bops, you should be able to just get a default httpd.conf file example online somewhere [04:43] ZykoticK9: I had something similar to this happen when I tried created a launcher for a Java app, had to put java -jar in front of the command. [04:43] Bops you can remove the apache2 and then install it [04:43] Bops apt-get purge packagename [04:43] noisecontrol: it's not just the conf file, it's the envvars...that's just to start, who knows what else would be missing [04:44] obengdako: I tried that already. I think the problem is that apache2 has other subpackages that DON'T get removed, and one of them has the config files. It could be apache22-common, but I can't remove it. [04:44] Bops then apt-get install packagename [04:44] Vustom, someone with the same error - says it's related to "working directory" at http://portableapps.com/node/11580 [04:45] bops - did you look for a lamp package - might save you some headaches [04:45] cd /etc/httpd/ and rm -rf * [04:45] obengdako: did that too. I tried googling for a solution, this question comes up in : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471003 and I tried all the suggestions. [04:46] bops - the problem is too much information - look for a lamp package - linux apache mysql php [04:46] noisecontrol: I'd rather fix the apt-get install if possible :) having a separate, non-repository install of Apache2 cause I can't figure it out seems a messy solution. [04:46] Vustom from a terminal try "cd /PATH/TO/Warsaw && ./warsaw.i3786" [04:47] lamp = most web aps = the easier softer way [04:47] I guess I can fall back to that [04:48] saves doing mysql and php configurations and cross file identification [04:49] Bops so your problem: unable to reinstall apache, if persists see if aptitude can help but apart from that i'm not sure what else to do and i do believe you are root and have the right permissions set for the configs all the best [04:49] you might also try "amp" or "amp stack" in your pkg mgr search [04:49] ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614795/ [04:49] Bops, you could try using tasksel to uninstall/reinstall lamp??? [04:49] ZykoticK9: Eh, made a typo. [04:49] Vustom, ok, cause that link didn't work ;) [04:49] heres the ifconfig [04:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/614796/ [04:50] nmesis, now lspci please [04:50] :) [04:50] and who says a server cant have a gui [04:51] noisecontrol, there isn't a lamp package, but it's in tasksel [04:51] ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614798/ [04:51] Vustom, try "cd /home/vustom/Desktop/Vustom/Jolicloud/Games && ./warsow.1386" [04:51] hello [04:51] ZykoticK9, you mean they are preloading it now. Wow. Headaches solved. [04:51] bazhang, can i just copy ethernet controller and network controller? [04:51] Bops tasksel in teminal [04:52] nmesis, yes please [04:52] obengdako: will check it out ,tha nks [04:52] i need help how to use teminal [04:52] ZykoticK9: Same thing. [04:52] blake_, help doing what [04:52] i want to play lord of the rings online but idk how to download [04:52] Why not just use the admin task manager in the control panel and hit the checkboxes? [04:53] blake_, what does that have to with terminal [04:53] lol [04:53] Vustom, the full path is wrong then... you need to change to the directory with the warsaw.i386 binary where is it located? [04:54] !classic [04:54] 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.

It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[06:59] traskers, if it's mounted right now just type "mount" to see everything. if not, you do need to figure out what device it is... [06:59] ZykoticK9, where in the post [06:59] looks like all checkinstall [07:00] ZykoticK9, thanks, and should I use all of the options that it's already mounted with, I assume, in the fstab?

[07:13] ryoohki, only 1 extended (with a limit of 3 other primary), but unlimited Logical inside that extended (well obviously not unlimited) [07:13] ZykoticK9, : make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [07:13] ryoohki, if u want to make it easier, use gpt [07:13] ZykoticK9: seems like the number of logical partitions is limited to 2 or 3 [07:13] A_J, ? that's why compiling software is a pain. Sorry man, I have no idea about that. [07:14] ryoohki, way more then 2 or 3! [07:14] ZykoticK9, i'm a newb at this.. [07:14] what did i do wrong ? [07:14] what's the max number of standard pc logical partitions can there be? [07:14] A_J, compiling software is not for new users... [07:14] ryoohki, modern OSes use gpt.. u don't have to worry about things called "primary" or "logical" partitions, thats for M$ dosmbr styled tables [07:14] ZykoticK9, i have no other choice [07:15] ryoohki: is this a practical help request? [07:15] ZykoticK9: using gparted? i'm using that and it seems to only allow 2 logiocal partitons [07:15] A_J, good luck. [07:15] A_J, read the readme.. u may need to use autoconf [07:15] ZykoticK9, if it's not too much to ask can you make a deb for me ?

As long as GRUB can see your Ubuntu partition, you should be fine. [07:17] rodfromaus: how are you trying to connect? Wired or wireless? [07:17] wired [07:17] r0fs3ck5: i know but that's not what i am trying to do [07:17] ryoohki, you're forgetting about swap. [07:18] A_J, did you run "./configure"? did you get error(s)? do you have build-essential installed? I'm currently installing b-e right now, and will attempt to build in a moment, BUT i'm on AMD64. [07:18] yagoo: huh? re-read => ubuntu only need 1 partion in theory because /boot and swap can be in the lvm [07:18] may i ask? [07:18] ryoohki, lvm volumes you want? you should of asked that [07:18] ZykoticK9, IT Said abgx360 requires libcurl no I installed that [07:19] yagoo: please read what i am trying to do instead of this nonsense [07:19] A_J, s/no/so/ ? [07:19] rodfromaus: Do you see lights on your network socket when you plug in your cable? [07:19] ryoohki, Windows 7 is nonsense. I'm not even going to further take your attitude. [07:19] yagoo: it's your attitude that's bad [07:19] yagoo: please don't reply to my questions anymore [07:20] ryoohki: alright, wha tis it that you are trying to do? [07:20] yagoo: please pretend i don't exist [07:20] ?? [07:20] r0fs3ck5: i said, i want to create the maximmum partitions using standard pc disk formating [07:20] r0fs3ck5: is the maximum 8 or 16? [07:21] i got a ok for ./configure ZykoticK9 but make and make install don't quite work : http://pastebin.com/yB8huJ5D [07:21] what is the difference between bash and dash shell [07:22] !dash | abhinav_singh [07:22] abhinav_singh: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [07:22] abhinav_singh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Almquist_shell [07:23] ryoohki: the maximum number of primary partitions is theoretically 4 [07:23] abhinav_singh: dash is a smaller less featurefull shell for executing scripts [07:23] r0fs3ck5: that's not theory [07:23] o [07:23] m [07:23] g [07:23] A_J, are you sure? "ls /usr/local/bin/abgx360" does it exist? Try running it, if it does, "/usr/local/bin/abgx360". [07:23] okay well is dash default shell for ubuntu? [07:23] mokmeister, I have run a cable from the back of the router to the laptop, there are lights on the router and yhis pc is running from it [07:23] ryoohki: and trolling old day to you too. [07:23] abhinav_singh: no, bash is for users, some scripts use dash since it's faster [07:23] yagoo, please don't do multi-line stuff like that... [07:23] abhinav_singh: dash is the default shell for scripts that run /bin/sh. bash is the default for user logins. [07:24] r0fs3ck5: what? [07:24] okay ryoohki rww [07:24] Dumb question: I definitely needed to install the sendmail package from apt to get mail sending to work in PHP (most common solution?)? :P [07:24] abhinav_singh: rww? [07:24] ryoohki: hrm? [07:24] ryoohki: rww is the another member in the channel [07:24] rww: oh - sorry . didn't see you in there [07:25] :) [07:25] ZykoticK9, yea got the CLI working need the GUI now [07:25] ZykoticK9: again please :] [07:26] sklorpion, no! ;) [07:26] moltendorf, there's the sendmail backend command that can be system() fired from php [07:26] A_J, nice. [07:26] ZykoticK9, i just ran it via the path you gave [07:26] ZykoticK9: all works fine, ty :] if u come to Cracow you got beer from me :] [07:27] ^lol [07:27] hi [07:27] how could i use grep or some other command line tool to replace all instances of StringA with StringB in every file where it occurs? [07:27] yagoo: I had php-cgi installed by itself, and emails weren't getting out at all... Installing sendmail via aptitude install sendmail fixed the issue. [07:27] nexace, wrong command.. sed does that [07:27] nexace, check out sed [07:27] roger, thank you [07:27] moltendorf, u dont need php to test sendmail.. First type the command "sendmail" with arguments and see if that works first [07:28] rockmeister | Did you receive my response re the lights? [07:28] moltendorf, you're confusing me.. does it or does it not work? [07:28] nexace: find /dir/path -xdev -type f -print0 | sed -0 -I '{}' sed -i.backup -e 's/StringA/StringB/g' '{}' [07:29] yagoo: I was just wondering if I needed it installed for PHP. :P [07:29] nexace: haven't tried it but it should work [07:29] nexace: Another solution is find with the exec option. [07:29] nexace: "sed -i.backup -e 's/StringA/StringB/g' *" if it's just one directory [07:29] yagoo: It seems so, as I installed it, and reconfigured PHP slightly, which caused it to still not work, reconfigured PHP one more time caused it to work. ;) [07:29] ZykoticK9, well he GUI ? [07:29] moltendorf, look up php's system() command.. or maybe it's exec .. i did this along time ago.. [07:29] the* [07:29] yagoo: However, does BIND9 need to be installed for sendmail to work? [07:29] moltendorf: no [07:30] moltendorf, "." [07:30] A_J, i have no idea man! sorry didn't know you where waiting on me. [07:30] Mokmeister | you still there? [07:30] moltendorf, forget php. Setup sendmail. As i said.. u dont need php to test the sendmail command [07:30] yagoo: Would it still be smart for me to set it up, even though I use my domain provider's nameservers for everything? [07:30] kk ZykoticK9 ty, btw can u help me with another issue, it's pretty complicated [07:31] moltendorf, are you a company? [07:31] A_J, dunno, best just to ask the question to the channel - if i have input i'll give it [07:31] moltendorf, hire someone who knows php... [07:31] yagoo: *d'oh* [07:31] yagoo: I don't think you understand the nature of my question. [07:31] moltendorf: why all the trouble to set up bind9? if you can "ping -c 1 www.google.com" then tha's all sendmail bneeds [07:31] you're asking too many professional grade questions.. you should at least know about DNS/BIND and how nameservers work with sendmail before anything. [07:32] moltendorf: yes you will have to install sendmail [07:32] moltendorf: yagoo is a troll. also try a php channel [07:33] Okie, My USB trasfer Speeds are at the best horrible, the often slow down to a 100kbps and stall.. I transfer about 100MB of data in 4-5 mins.. Also this data has CRC errors. I have Checked Various pendrives and external HDD's Same problem. What can the Issue Be, it's kinda imp cause i have 2tb of data on this pc [07:33] I'm asking them because I just transferred from a fleet of managed, pre-configured servers to three colocation servers. :) [07:33] moltendorf: all you have to have working is client dns [07:33] ...and I am the sysadmin for them. :) [07:34] moltendorf: test dns with "ping -c 1 www.google.com" or "dig +short www.google.com" [07:34] I got it all working; I was just asking a couple of dumb questions to ensure I don't have bloat on my server. :P [07:34] I already had dns working, I had that all configured when I initially deployed my boxes on the 18th. :) [07:35] moltendorf: then sendmail should work [07:35] It does. :P [07:35] moltendorf: you can try to run dns yourslef for security but then you might make a mistake and wind up less secure [07:35] You guys are so lost at my question and how dumb it actually was, I guess. :P [07:36] moltendorf: try asking about sending mail on a php channel [07:36] ZykoticK9, my question ? [07:36] A_J, you get CRC errors on any hd device to that usb prot? [07:36] moltendorf: you have a php question, not ubuntu [07:36] all usb ports yagoo [07:36] It is ubuntu related... [07:36] A_J, really? [07:36] is there a repo i need to enable to install skype? [07:36] A_J, sorry not something I have any experience/suggestions with/for. Good luck man. [07:37] and thats because the transfer stalls, etc [07:37] I seem to remember being able to apt-get install that [07:37] I noticed the issue when PHP was unable to send emails. :P [07:37] A_J, does 'dmesg' say anything about resets/ [07:37] ok np ZykoticK9 [07:37] A_J: what does dmesg say? [07:37] * yagoo ignores ryoohki [07:37] want a pastebin ? [07:37] A_J, sure.. (don't feed the troll) [07:38] Mokmeister |is it proper procedure to wait for one who first responded? sorry 1st time here [07:38] A_J: no, the errors should repeat, just the main error [07:38] eth1: PCI Bus error 2290 [07:38] hi everyone. I need some help with my laptop. I think swap is not being read or something. natty doesn't give me the option to hibernate. ideas? [07:38] I was asking if "sendmail" is in ubuntu 11.04 by default in some nature (and as such my installation of the sendmail package was pointless), or if it is not installed by default, and installing the sendmail package is the most common way to get the needed functionality to send emails. :P [07:39] A_J: i guess eth1 is usbnet?

I need to add a list of websites into my host file in order to block these sites, do I need to add, "::" before each IP and address?

[07:39] i knw [07:40] http://pastebin.com/LM2vy6Y0 [07:40] have a question re compiling kernel: Question) if you wanted to compile a newer version kernel what version does the GCC have to be i.e. does it have to be the latest version? [07:41] A_J: are you using usbnet? is eth1 your usb network interface? [07:41] or does, "::" just comments them in order to not block them in the host file? [07:41] ryoohki i did a dmesg [07:41] and no it's on ethernet [07:41] Question: Ubuntu Natty has eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) as standard package. I would like to install 3.6. Anyone has experience how to install Helios on Natty? [07:41] A_J: i saw. is eth1 a usb netwrork interface? [07:42] if my gparted everytime I restart is giving me the option to swapon, somehow it's not being used by default. possible? [07:42] no ryoohki [07:42] it must be another card i installed, havent got that working yet [07:43] A_J, try opening the machine and see if there are any loose cards [07:43] elkuka, swap has to be enabled in /etc/fstab [07:44] there ok yagoo [07:44] moltendorf: Are you asking about server or desktop? [07:44] Server. :P [07:44] jhgkjhg [07:45] I'm pretty sure that sendmail is not installed by default though. :P [07:45] A_J, you're getting an OOPS.. kernel dump.. there's a module choking somewhere [07:45] need help with lubuntu [07:45] Now my other question is unrelated pretty much... [07:45] yagoo that's a textfile. isn't it? well it says # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation [07:45] As I got sendmail to work without it (I thought it required the other thing to be set up properly to work, but it was actually an issue with PHP, not with sendmail or bind9). [07:45] moltendorf: During install, you are asked what services you want, so it depense from image used by vps. [07:45] yagoo, how do i fix it ? [07:46] I only installed OpenSSH. [07:46] I know there were options for LAMP and Mail server. [07:46] But I chose to ignore them as I wanted to configure it all myself. [07:46] A_J, maybe it's an irq-sharing conflict. Try allocating resources manually if its the reason [07:46] A_J, like in bios has Pnp/irq-sharing options [07:47] A_J, or look at any dipswitches on recent new hardware insatlled [07:48] yagoo, can I access my hdd from a live cd ?

[08:04] yeah it does [08:04] DrManhattan: Just get deb from skype website [08:04] I usually have to use the static package and run it with PULSE_SERVER=localhost [08:04] but it works great [08:04] DrManhattan, hopefully even next year.. who knows maybe M$ might knock off the repo :))) [08:04] DrManhattan: skype is in the official repositories for the time being [08:04] How do I force Ubuntu to do an fsck on boot? [08:05] ugh I forgot about the buyout [08:05] lol [08:05] 8.5 billion is quite alot.. [08:05] quite hard to forget that.. it's like one of the biggest company buyouts in history [08:05] DrManhattan: I've been using ekiga as a fallback [08:06] Jesus - still not registering with the screensaver === ubuntu is now known as WoundedPhoenix [08:06] DrManhattan: Convert your buddies to ekiga [08:06] yeah, right [08:06] m$ is going to drop it for linux.. i'm 100% sure.. [08:07] there's already Ballmer speeching about integrating it with their products etc etc.. [08:07] qin, no luck on the fonts [08:08] So I have a disk partitioning question. I've got partition issues and I'm trying to fix it in an ubuntu liveCD. Actually, I want to install ubuntu to the drive, but can't until I fix the partition issues... [08:08] RudyValencia: touch /forcefsck [08:08] Partition managers see no partitions on the drive. [08:08] But when I'm booted into the live environ, it'll mount my NTFS just fine. [08:09] Flannel: yeah that works [08:09] DrManhattan: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/222367 [08:09] Ubuntu bug 222367 in xscreensaver (Ubuntu) "Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well" [Low,Triaged] [08:09] qin, that's no biggie - but the font isnt installed [08:10] currently running gpart in terminal, and it keeps coming up with read errr and short reads, but it's skipping them all. Any sugesstions on repairing whatever's wrong (or a general "partition issue repair" program) so I don't have to wipe and re-create the partition tabe (effectively losing the data on my NTFS) when I install Ubuntu? [08:10] hello. Where can I set the pref for opening http/https links? [08:10] WoundedPhoenix: You probably have an invalid partition table. [08:10] WoundedPhoenix: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [08:10] Milossh: Preferences: Preferred aplications [08:10] Jordan_U: one moment [08:11] WoundedPhoenix: Also, the output of "dmesg". [08:11] WoundedPhoenix, yep, but I can't set the web browser, 'cause I didn't install it from packages [08:11] at least I think that's the reason [08:12] Good morning. [08:12] gm [08:13] DrManhattan, you really should drop skype. I bet you linux client will be cut.. so I believe qin is right.. you have to convert :p [08:13] Ubuntu 11.04 (both 32b and 64b): I have no combobox to switch the desktop (Unity/Classic...) in the login screen bottom bar. Already looking in Launchpad for gdm bugs, but not sure what the correct term is. [08:14] WoundedPhoenix, i usually use gparted.. it's easier [08:15] yagoo: My skype client won't tell me who is online. [08:15] Jordan_U: Here's the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/UsrdedRZ That's only the parted -l and the last 2048 lines of dmesg, I need to increase my terminal scrollback if you want more, but I think you'll see the issue. [08:16] who know why ubuntu.com not responded? [08:17] WoundedPhoenix, tee [08:17] already worked [08:17] WoundedPhoenix: How was this partition table created? Did you dd an image from a larger drive? [08:17] I'm wanting to move my /home & /var partitions (standard partitions) to another drive (sata raid1). I'm guessing this is easiest done via liveCD or can it be done inside of the running install? [08:17] Jordan_U: I'm also running gpart so it may be logging to dmesg. if so, ick. [08:18] Jordan_U: No, this was created originally by a Toshiba Vista restore disk back in 2009. [08:18] WoundedPhoenix, are you hotplugging this drive? [08:18] Jordan_U: Since then I have tried to install Windows XP when Vista crapped out, and since I couldn't get XP to install I told my wife she was going to get a working OS, and learn to like it. [08:19] hey i just install a fresh copy of ubuntu 11.4 after i installed grub 2 i lost the animating ubuntu logo on start up [08:19] yagoo: no, it's the master drive for the laptop. [08:19] WoundedPhoenix, is it ssd? [08:19] WoundedPhoenix: Odd, because parted thinks that it's describing a partition which is outside the disk, e.g. a partition described as ending 800 GiB into a 500 GiB disk. [08:19] WoundedPhoenix: And parted is rarely wrong. [08:19] its just black then it loads normally evrything is good [08:19] Jordan_U: yeah I know. I don't have a clue what caused that. [08:20] plz anybody know why animating loho on startup disappeared ? [08:20] WoundedPhoenix: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? [08:20] Jordan_U: I've got one graphical partition manager to show me the NTFS part, the toshiba partition, and a blank partition of something like multi-hundred terrabytes. [08:20] Yagoo: SSD? [08:20] WoundedPhoenix, i heard of ssd-specialized tools if it's an ssd thats what i was asking [08:20] qin, how do I go about installing fonts manually? is there some sort of app for this? [08:21] WoundedPhoenix: Solid State Disk [08:21] solidstate drive (meaning non-platter spin disk) [08:21] ssd are quiet.. no noise.. [08:21] help -- dead system -- can take the drive out -- drive is 64 bit ubuntu 10.04 -- I need to put the drive into a 32 bit system -- will the 32 bit mainboard still be able to MOUNT the 64 bit ubuntu volume [08:21] rhin0, yes [08:21] help me in downloading youtube videos [08:21] Yagoo: Oh, solid state, no, it's not. [08:21] Anyone here good with Munin? #munin hasn't moved for like 4 days [08:22] rhin0, an easy solution is to boot with livecd.. muont it and backup data to a usb drive [08:22] right -- mount the ext4 volume from the 32 bit system even though the ext4 volume is part of a 64 bit ubuntu installation [08:22] rhin0, correct. [08:22] the ubuntu animating logo at startup disappeared , can anybody help ? [08:22] Jordan_U: Any idea on a good application to fix the partition table damage? [08:22] yagoo it just went *pop* and then nothing --- I get the impression that it could be the main unit has blown the power supply [08:22] rhin0, oh.. [08:22] so I won't plug a brand new power supply into the main unit -- separate power supply [08:22] rhin0, that's bad.. [08:23] because power supplies like on dell optiplex don't just "blow" for nothing [08:23] yes it is bad but If I get the data back its less bad [08:23] rhin0, just get an ext enclosure for it.. backup what u can as soon as u turn it on.. if u cant then well bad luck :/ [08:23] an ext enclosure yagoo? [08:24] those boxes where u place the harddrive in.. that's (external enclosure) [08:24] gotcha you mean a new system [08:24] that's called system unit (geek talk:)) [08:24] this is ext enclosure.. [08:24] * rhin0 honks I am a geek too [08:24] mhhhmmmmmm…. [08:25] or more accurately called hd ext enclosure [08:25] its going into an older dell I have nothing that specialised [08:25] at least this way u can minimize damage to other systems u try the faulty drive on [08:25] unlikely a drive will have BLOWN UP THE PC or power supply [08:26] well it can knock out the whole usb controller [08:26] yagoo: It would be pretty rare for a hdd to damage the PSU or MB [08:27] heeeeey my usplash disappeared [08:27] ubuntu 11.4 [08:27] any suggestions [08:28] aborady, maybe it's not compatible [08:28] it stopped since install grub 2 [08:28] !pm | mac_ [08:28] mac_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [08:28] aborady, u talking about an .xpm ? [08:28] Hmm okay, so no one with a suggestion? heh I'm at my wits end, with around 50 gigs of data I don't want to lose. [08:28] :( [08:29] WoundedPhoenix: disk failure? [08:29] WoundedPhoenix, can u mount the partition? [08:29] am atalking about animating ubuntu logo on startup [08:29] aborady: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub? [08:29] Yagoo: yes, but I have no place to offload it to. [08:29] yes [08:29] WoundedPhoenix, did u try gparted? [08:29] im using conky, when i start it manually its ok, but when i put it in autostart of gnome i makes strange window which is always "on top"? Any suggestions? [08:29] the download is like 100 meg for the livecd iso [08:29] WoundedPhoenix: I would volunteer some disk space, but... I'm not a good candidate for that... XD [08:30] Yagoo: gparted shows no partitions. [08:30] sklorpion: change the "on top" setting in the config files? [08:30] http://pastebin.com/xZFpjXcX [08:30] WoundedPhoenix: fixparts is good, but before you actually apply any changes be sure you understand what exactly has gone wrong. [08:30] sklorpion: conky doesn't have bad documentation, try googling it. [08:30] hello I have dell laptop and I have and update my BIOS from the time i bought it, more than 2 years how could I update my BIOS do I have to find each update chronologically and apply them one by one or the latest one suffice [08:31] hello I have dell laptop 1545 [08:31] * WoundedPhoenix looks up fixparts [08:31] amin`: each bios "package" should contain the COMPLETE BIOS [08:31] http://pastebin.com/xZFpjXcX [08:31] not some incremental change file [08:31] nincompooop: but strange thing is that it works grate and normally when i lunch it manually. Problem appear when i put it in autostart of gnome, then window looks different [08:32] nincompooop: so the latest one is enough [08:32] sklorpion: hmm, maybe they have a channel on IRC... [08:32] amin`: mmhm [08:32] amin`, bios upgrades are independent of each other.. so the latest bios doesn't have to apply to the just prior version for upgrade [08:32] nincompooop: means YEs? [08:32] amin`: yes. [08:32] nincompooop: how should i do It use ubuntu and have no windows access? [08:32] amin`, (if u have v3 and want v5.. u don't need to upgrade to v4 first< for example) [08:32] nincompooop: yes they do i'll go there [08:32] nincompooop: any special package? [08:33] yagoo: have should i do it? [08:33] amin`: your laptop should have some method of "flashing" it in... EG: writing it to a CD, having it on a flash drive, writing it onto a floppy disk [08:33] i pastebin my /etc/default/grub [08:33] WoundedPhoenix: Please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l". [08:33] http://pastebin.com/xZFpjXcX [08:34] amin`, u can read the release notes.. most of the time bios upgrades are not problematic [08:34] amin`, if its a laptop of course plugin the ac adapter [08:34] Jordan_U: one sec [08:34] nincompooop: `you mean I do not have to install windows and the install BOIS update software on it? [08:35] amin`: nope. [08:35] aborady: Remove " splash vga=769" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. [08:35] amin`: there are usually multiple ways to update bios... [08:35] amin`: try finding some documentation on how to do it outside of windows. [08:35] hi Everyone [08:35] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/qbWj4kdA [08:35] aborady: splash is already included in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and "vga=769" is depricated and will at best do nothing. [08:36] amin`: for example, my ATOM motherboard supports doing it in windows, out of a CD, out of a flash drive, booting off of a "special" OS, and "backup mode" [08:37] nincompooop: it just says: TWO ways: for windows and ssecond the dos mode for non-windows user.. [08:37] WoundedPhoenix: It looks like you just took the output from "sudo parted -l" and replaced "parted" with "fdisk". I need the actual output of "sudo fdisk -l". [08:37] duh sorry [08:37] amin`: you can write a CD with DOS in it and write it that way... [08:37] no wait [08:37] ok i gonna restart and see [08:38] WoundedPhoenix, sr0 is cdrom/dvdrom thats not ur harddrive [08:38] that IS the output of sudo fdisk -l [08:38] nincompooop: okie dokie? [08:38] how? [08:38] just write the drive on cd and it is bootable [08:39] Jordan_U: Here, here it is with /dev/sda specified http://pastebin.com/ATnKGSvv [08:40] i still see black screen instead of the splash [08:40] WoundedPhoenix, that fdisk is old considering 2006 :./ [08:41] WoundedPhoenix, try doing it under # [08:41] after i select ubuntu from grub menu i see black screen till login [08:41] Yagoo: 10.04 [08:42] WoundedPhoenix, is it gpt or dosmbr? [08:42] ? [08:42] dosmbr i think [08:43] amin`: http://www.nenie.org/misc/flashbootcd.html << looks like a good guide [08:43] jesus this sucks with the fonts. [08:43] got the puter in, uhm, 2008 [08:43] DrManhattan, i always use Terminus font [08:43] DrManhattan: what fonts? (just wondering) [08:43] yagoo: http://pastebin.com/0UX8r9wu [08:43] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/0UX8r9wu [08:43] Now. [08:43] same results. [08:43] but as root. [08:43] telling you. it's fdisk. [08:44] WoundedPhoenix, what edition is the livecd ?/ [08:44] yagoo: 0.o [08:44] (don't use chroot) [08:44] yagoo: the liveCDs have different versions... [08:44] WoundedPhoenix: Can you pastebin the output of "fdisk --version"? [08:44] nincompooop, I know that. [08:44] yagoo: 10.04 (lynx) [08:45] Gnu fdisk 1.2.4 [08:45] Jordan_U, he already did.. are u looking at his links? [08:45] Jordan_U: That's really not pastebin necessary.. GNU fdisk 1.2.4 [08:45] WoundedPhoenix, did u use the ubuntu installer to make partitions or did u use another partition tool before? [08:46] yagoo: Partitions were in place on the drive before. [08:46] WoundedPhoenix, using what? [08:46] heeeey i dunno wheres my usplash [08:46] Yagoo: Partitions were made by the Toshiba Windows Vista restore disk. [08:46] can i reinstall it or something [08:46] WoundedPhoenix, it may have made gpt table then.. [08:46] Yagoo: when I reinstalled vista back in 2009. [08:47] WoundedPhoenix, it's likely a gpt table.. [08:47] yagoo: How do I tell? [08:47] WoundedPhoenix, so this means that any tool older than a year for gpt tool in linux isn't good [08:47] Yagoo: What's a good partition tool for gpt? That way I can partition my drive and still install linux. [08:48] Speaking of, this is a question I should know the answer to, but... [08:48] WoundedPhoenix, the one i mentioned awhile ago.. :).. it does dosmbr and gpt very well (gparted) [08:48] also the one u used parted i believe does gpt good as well [08:48] WoundedPhoenix: That's the exact output you get from running exactly "fdisk --help"? [08:48] Yagoo: I have gparted on this system. I guess I just need to upate it ;) [08:49] Jordan_U: you didn't ask for --help, you asked for --version [08:49] hey i keep asking but nobody reply [08:49] WoundedPhoenix, gparted gui is smart.. it does e2fsck automatically for u [08:49] WoundedPhoenix: Sorry, I meant is that the exact output you get from exactly "fdisk --version"? [08:49] plz can anybody help me with my problem my Usplash is gone [08:49] aborady, look into anything with .xpm .. i'm guessing ur talkinb about grub's splash screen [08:49] aborady: sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash? [08:50] This is a stupid question I should know the answer to, but if I install 10.04, and use the automatic updates, it will update me (eventually) to the latest version, right? with the new dock, and all the new spiffyness? Or do I have to download the CD and re-install/upgrade? [08:50] is not installed and no info is available. [08:50] aborady, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/startup-manager-change-settings-in-grub-grub2-and-usplash.html [08:50] christ on a crutch I can't believe it's this difficult to install a friggin font [08:51] DrManhattan, it's easy.. u copy to ~/.fonts and fc-cache -<> something parameter [08:51] !upgrade | WoundedPhoenix [08:51] WoundedPhoenix: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [08:51] yeah well, I can't seem to find the proper helvetica or utopia [08:51] WoundedPhoenix: in short, you'd need to change some settings to receive non-LTS upgrade notes, then upgrade 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 [08:52] WoundedPhoenix: or do nothing, wait until April 2012 and go 10.04 -> 12.04. [08:52] WoundedPhoenix: What is the exact output you get from running exactly "fdisk --version"? Sorry for asking so many questions that may seem trivial. This is the last one. [08:52] hi, is there anyway to boot w/o X from the grub menu? [08:52] Jordan_U, he already answered that. it's also on his pasteboards [08:52] I cant boot after installing "pointing devices" === PCdoc is now known as NiK [08:53] mh512, a packagename can't have a space in it.. you liar! :p === NiK is now known as PCdoc [08:53] mh512, u can try ctl-alt-f<#> .. [08:53] !cli [08:53] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [08:54] Jordan_U: root@ubuntu:~# fdisk --version [08:54] GNU Fdisk 1.2.4 [08:54] startup manager is missing options here [08:54] i cant get to the ctrl-alt-f<#> stage [08:54] no appearance tab [08:54] no show boot splash option [08:54] i already installed it b4 and when i see ur link i knew theres something strange [08:55] Jordan_U: but I just downloaded gparted (the latest version) to see if that works with the drive (i.e. it's a gpt?? table) [08:55] aborady, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUsplash [08:55] WoundedPhoenix, gpt is better [08:56] WoundedPhoenix, but not all linux tools are updated for it.. so use gnu-fdisk/parted/gparted [08:56] WoundedPhoenix, that 2006 gnu-fdisk is too old imho [08:57] funny, that's what 10.04 installed. heh. [08:59] aborady, I use 'wiki ubuntu' in my google search to find those urls [08:59] my issue is strange [08:59] i've no /etc/usplash.conf file [08:59] aborady, google [08:59] WoundedPhoenix: yagoo: I am sorry but that's simply not possible. Among other things fdisk, unlike parted and most other commands, does not accept long arguments (even --version). "fdisk --version" should have given you an error message, and your other pastes are consistent with you not actually running fdisk but instead modifying the output of parted. That or you are not using Ubuntu but instead another distribution with an entirely different fdisk ... [08:59] ... from any I have seen before (and whose output exactly matches that of parted). The most likely explanation I can think of is that you are lying, though I don't know why. [09:00] i'm searching now i happened b4 with 10.10 but startup manager solve it [09:00] no it cant be solve by startupmanager [09:01] Jordan_U, i don't know the details how gpt is treated with 10.x ubuntu.. probably the ubuntu installer 10.x by default prefers dosmbr for its included tools [09:01] Jordan_U: thanks for the vote of confidence. [09:01] Jordan_U, also the package gnu-fdisk is replacing the older fdisk which does not do gpt === Zorlin is now known as Guest22438 [09:02] WoundedPhoenix, ^ meant to say that to you [09:02] WoundedPhoenix: OK, it appears there is another version of fdisk which is based on libparted, but it is not installed in Ubuntu by default. [09:03] WoundedPhoenix: Can you install uninstall the package "gnu-fdisk" and provide the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? [09:03] ? [09:03] fdisk is gnu-fdisk [09:03] question: i need temp from my CPU so i did /usr/bin/sensors | grep Core1 | cut -c15-16 | xargs but the problem is im getting "20 22" and i want only one number. How and what i should modify? === squirming_coil24 is now known as squirmatic [09:03] it's the same binary name.. but it's not the tradidional fdisk that doesnt do gpt [09:03] yagoo: No, gnu-fdisk isn't even in main. === squirmatic is now known as squiratic [09:04] I installed 2 drives as raid1, and set them up in bios (the motherboard supports it). gpt still sees them as 2 drives (sda & sdc) [09:04] Jordan_U: The package gnu-fdisk is installed. [09:04] yagoo: The standard fdisk is from util-linux, not GNU. [09:04] is there a "right" way to make init-d scripts run as another user? [09:04] /usr/bin/sensors <- this gives me 4 numebers in each line so i grep to have Core1 temp, but those are two, i donno how to cut one off [09:04] WoundedPhoenix, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php [09:04] Quick question, what would the most likely /dev/??? be for my multi-card reader? [09:04] WoundedPhoenix: Please uninstall it. I need the standard util-linux version of fdisk's output. [09:05] Jordan_U: can do. [09:05] can the colour of the GRUB bootloader be changed? [09:05] WoundedPhoenix, this fdisk, you installed this fdisk outside from ubuntu? === squiratic is now known as squirmionysis [09:06] akashm1990: Yes. [09:06] akashm1990, i'm sure it ican === squirmionysis is now known as squirmy [09:06] yagoo: No, I installed gnu-fdisk from within ubuntu. [09:06] Jordan_U,could you tell me how? === squirmy is now known as squirmz [09:06] WoundedPhoenix, ok.. that makes Jordan_U troll#2 today :) === squirmz is now known as squirmion [09:06] Jordan_U, you're a noob. [09:07] !noob | yagoo [09:07] yagoo: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [09:07] ok [09:07] yagoo: Additionally, please don't call people trolls. It doesn't help the situation and makes things more difficult for the channel operators. === squirmion is now known as squirming [09:08] Jordan_U: okay, now it starts with this: [09:08] root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# fdisk --version [09:08] fdisk: invalid option -- '-' [09:08] WoundedPhoenix: Sorry for the accusation by the way, I was not aware of another version of fdisk and believe it or not I have had to recently deal with people modifying output of commands to hide things. === squirming is now known as squirming_coil === squirming_coil is now known as squirmingcoilofs [09:08] Jordan_U, you obviously don't know how to help him with his problem.. Can you let me help him? [09:08] WoundedPhoenix: Good, that's the version I want then :) === squirmingcoilofs is now known as squirmingcoil [09:09] hello [09:09] Jordan_U: no worries. My sd card reader isn't working under the live CD or I would have pasted a youtube link of my bloody well typing "fdisk --version" and showing the output, lol, and we would have left it there. :P But seriously, no worries. [09:09] oka, so what do you need from it? [09:09] WoundedPhoenix, dude.. that's completely new story.. [09:09] is this the right place to ask install questions? [09:09] WoundedPhoenix: The output of "sudo fdisk -lu". [09:10] WoundedPhoenix, that is not a HARDDRIVE :) [09:10] lol [09:10] sorry [09:10] accident [09:11] squirmingcoil: 'sokay. just don't do it again ;) [09:11] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/qt3JywaB [09:11] ya i was registering some stuff and i forgot u could see it [09:11] my bad [09:11] WoundedPhoenix: can u plz re-tell the initial problem u have ? [09:12] when ubuntu is installed is the windows master boot recored overwritten? [09:12] ide like to kno that as well [09:12] c1728p9: yep and u need to recover windows for that ... [09:13] PCdoc: PArtition managers cannot locate partitions when I go to install ubuntu. However, ubuntu live CD recognizes and mounts my NTFS just fine. [09:13] PCdoc: I'm using 10.04 [09:13] do you have to nuke a hard drive to get rid of all traces of an operating system? [09:13] WoundedPhoenix: The problem is sda2 which according to the partition table ends at sector 234452609 , even though your drive is only 234441648 sectors large. [09:13] I'm working on installing the latest version of gparted so to see if the last time the drive was partitioned it was done in the new-fangled style [09:13] WoundedPhoenix, use the livecd? [09:14] WoundedPhoenix: i asked coz i recently fixed my pc ... the other ntfs and logical drives and usb drives were not mounting after I upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 [09:14] WoundedPhoenix: You are not using GPT. [09:14] PCdoc: do you need the windows install disk to return the master boot record to what it was before the install? [09:14] Jordan_U: So how do I fix the overrun? [09:14] c1728p9: u want to dual boot ? [09:14] hi i need some help concerning a connection to a specific ip adress..i cannot ping and cannot tracert to that ip..when i use a webtool for this the server answers as desired..so i think my routing is somehow affected..i have tried to reset and clear dns cache but still no success [09:14] Hjälp behövs [09:15] PCdoc: yeah but im afraid im gonna mess it up and not be able to fix the mbr [09:15] c1728p9: dont b i have .. fixed them a lot of times :P [09:15] I'm trying to install 2 drives as raid1. The drives show up in bios, and I set them as mirrored. When I view them in fdisk -l or gparted, they show up as 2 disks instead of 1. I'm wanting to move /home and /var to the raid partitions. How should I go about this? [09:15] it wont destroy ur data :P [09:15] hey when i run echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c && gcc -o dummy dummy.c i get the error collect2: cannot find 'ld' [09:15] PCdoc: yeah but i dont' have the windows install cd. Can i fix it without that? [09:15] inso: Är det möjligt för dig att tala på engelska? [09:16] c1728p9: yeah just hang on [09:16] WoundedPhoenix: You can fix it within fdisk by deleting that partiton entry and replacing it with one which has the same starting point but ends at the end of the disk rather than past the end. [09:16] do u have the live ubuntu cd ? [09:16] PCdoc: yeah, I havent worked up enough guts to install it though lol [09:17] Jordan_U: won't that destroy all the data on that partition? [09:17] WoundedPhoenix, gparted live cd allows to resize ntfs non-destructively [09:17] yagoo: what about gparted running from ubuntu livecd ;) [09:17] WoundedPhoenix, I can only guess earlier whether it may be gpt/dosmbr it's irrelevant now.. looking at that last post [09:18] cause I can't burn a CD when I'm running a liveCD [09:18] WoundedPhoenix, thats fine.. it's dosmbr [09:18] PCdoc: also how hard it is to set ubuntu as my default though the new linux mbr? [09:18] hey when i run echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c && gcc -o dummy dummy.c i get the error collect2: cannot find 'ld' [09:19] c1728p9: u need to install startup-manager from the synaptic manager === xd is now known as Guest34932 [09:19] Question... the new Ubuntu 11.04 takes some getting used to. I accidentally hit the "windows" key and somehow opened up banshee (since it is linked to "listen to music") and all of a sudden all these directories got created, like Ubuntu One, etc. Ubuntu won't auto-sync my music anywhere or anything like that without me explicitly signing up right? [09:19] or u can use sudo apt-get install startup-manager from the terminal [09:19] hello [09:19] WoundedPhoenix: No. An entry in a partition table is simply some bits stating where a partition starts and where it ends, changing the partition table alone doesn't change the contents at all (though if you make the new partition entry wrong then the filesystem contained within the partition will not be properly accessible). [09:19] WoundedPhoenix, however the ubuntu installer may set the wrong boot partition for winbloze.. just change the # afterwards (bootmgr is not on /dev/sda1 ) [09:19] from there u can choose what operating system u wanna default and set timeout if none is selected etc [09:19] hmm. [09:19] PCdoc: can i install that after i install ubuntu? [09:19] WoundedPhoenix: Fixparts will probably fix the partition table for you in an automated way if you'd prefer. [09:19] PCdoc: ok cool [09:19] c1728p9: that is to be installed only after installing u ubuntu [09:20] yes [09:20] WoundedPhoenix, u dont have to worry about partition resizing.. gparted is included in the ubuntu installer.. (gparted resizes filesystem and updates partition table) [09:20] i've given up on Unity [09:20] WoundedPhoenix, trust me. [09:20] hopefully it magically becomes amazing in 11.10 [09:21] yagoo: As libparted refuses to modify partition tables which are invalid in this way gparted will not be able to fix this particular issue. [09:21] yagoo: I'm using Ubunto 10.04, remember? [09:21] PCdoc: can you turn the timout off for choosing an operating system? [09:21] PCdoc: well not turn it off, just have it automatically go to one operating system [09:21] WoundedPhoenix, i'm saying don't use the manual tools.. it's too cumbersome.. if u use a partition editor in command mode.. u have to make sure u do both->filesystem resize and partitiontable update.. gparted takes off all this worries and does both transparently [09:22] =The stuff included with 10.04 dos NOT recognize my partitions, and will NOT fix them automatically. the gparted included with ubuntu 10.04 does NOT fix it. [09:22] hi can someone help me out [09:22] c1728p9: if u select none when it asks u .. it will automatically load the default one [09:22] WoundedPhoenix, you mentioned other things like sdcards.. try unplugging everything else and have just that drive seen [09:22] yagoo: If I do an install I have two options 1) format the entire drive 2) do it manually, which gives me 1 option: create a new partition that covers some or all of the entire drive. [09:22] nothing was plugged in then. [09:22] after a timeout seconds u have set [09:23] like i have set to 10 seconds [09:23] PCdoc: can i just set one as the primary so there is no countdown? [09:23] If my touchpad stops working, and it starts working if I reboot. Is there a way to fix it again without rebooting? [09:23] c1728p9: its difficult to tell step by step so here is the link u shld read them and follow the steps .. the steps for recovering ubuntu after windows or recovering windows after ubuntu are almost same https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [09:24] [OO.o 3.2] What does an embedded HSQL database do with the information contained in its file /database/script? [09:24] ok, I'm going to try to fx this with fdisk. if that dont work install the new gparted. if THAT dont work, im taking 4 freaking xanax and going to bed because I am literally shaking, I've been trying to get this computer working for over a week. [09:24] PCdoc: ok thanks [09:24] c1728p9: if u set that then there's no need for dual bot .. just have ubuntu or windows and delete the other os [09:24] and no not only on linux. [09:24] ok... [09:24] anybody having knowledge of gidentd? [09:24] dual boot * [09:24] het when i run echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c && gcc -o dummy dummy.c i get the error collect2: cannot find 'ld' [09:25] WoundedPhoenix: Since the partition table is incorrect be prepared for the fileystem to be damaged already if it also was trying to use an area of the disk which does not exist. The good news is that the area past the end of the disk was less than 10 MiB large, so I doubt there will be any data loss. [09:25] WoundedPhoenix: one reason for not detecting partitions at install or afterr install is the partition is damaged or is in incorrect order [09:25] yeah Jordan_U :) [09:26] WoundedPhoenix, looking again at ur fdisk list.. why is partiton 1 id 27? [09:26] Jordan_U: yeah, I won't be crying much if it's lost [09:26] c1728p9: i *believe* if you set grub2 "Timeout" to -1 it turns the countdown off [09:26] yagoo: It's a Toshiba factory/system partition. [09:26] It contains a boot image and boot loader. [09:26] I have no effing clue what's on it as I've never managed to get it to boot. [09:27] WoundedPhoenix, it's probably protected [09:27] WoundedPhoenix, that's outside my scope.. [09:27] Jordan_U: i used testdisk software in terminal to fix the mounting problem after upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10 [09:27] I'm going to try to figure out how to get it to boot in GRUB one of these days. [09:27] cause I'm curious as heck as to what's on it. [09:27] WoundedPhoenix, is this a laptop? [09:27] yagoo: ya. [09:27] WoundedPhoenix, what's hte model? [09:27] WoundedPhoenix: i doubt yuo'll get a restore partition to boot in grub, but it's possible i guess [09:27] Satellite A215-S5808 [09:28] WoundedPhoenix: what have you done to try and get it to boot.? [09:28] how can I get vsync in flash videos [09:28] I don't care for the line in them [09:28] I have applied the setting in nvidia-settings, however flash appears to ignore it [09:28] KM0201: tried a few different techniques a friend told me in the windows boot loader (XP) [09:29] WoundedPhoenix: well thats dumb right from the get go [09:29] WoundedPhoenix: use this in windows (if u have) http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk to automatically fix the corrupted partition [09:29] WoundedPhoenix: out of curiosity, did you try F10, while booting? [09:29] WoundedPhoenix, research see if toshiba bios is protecting the partition table [09:29] WoundedPhoenix: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f108/solved-toshiba-a210-recovery-partition-326954.html [09:30] << bbl [09:31] bzip2 gzip xz zip lzip lzma, which is best for compressing 500MB mpeg file? (which will produce smallest file) [09:31] WoundedPhoenix: I'm writing up instructions now. [09:31] I was dualbooting ubuntu with windows 7, it's been a while since I last used ubuntu and now it only shows some error about ntfs or something before rebooting before I can read the error [09:32] WoundedPhoenix, what's the bios version? apparently there's a bootissue fix for one of the bios editions [09:33] BlessJah: mpeg is already compressed, zip won't save you much [09:33] riz|work: and rest of them? [09:33] WoundedPhoenix, upgrade to the latest bios.. it may do some magiv [09:33] magic [09:34] :) [09:34] KM0201: f10? no... what does f10 do? [09:34] WoundedPhoenix: Ok. First unmount sda1 and sda2 (if they're mounted) "sudo umount /dev/sda1; sudo umount /dev/sda2" should do that (and if they're already unmounted it won't hurt anything). Then run "sudo parted -u /dev/sda" that should bring you to a new prompt. Type "d" (for Delete) and hit return. Then type "2" for partition 2, then type "n" for new partition, "p" for primary, "2" to create partition number 2, "3074048" to have it start at sector ... [09:34] f10 isn't a listed option on my bootscreen [09:34] BlessJah: doesn't matter which, you could convert the video to lower quality to make smaller [09:34] ... 3074048, then just hit enter to choose the default end sector, then "p" to print the new partition table. After all that no changes will have been made on disk. Pastebin the entire session of fdisk and if it looks good I'll have you write the new partition table to disk with "w". [09:34] WoundedPhoenix: according to that link, you press F10, and it boots your restore partition. [09:34] riz|work: ok, thx [09:35] WoundedPhoenix: so what... just reboot, and at the bios screen, keep pressing F10 [09:35] [OO.o 3.2] What does an embedded HSQL database do with the information contained in its file /database/script? [09:35] oh cool [09:35] WoundedPhoenix: I made a typo in my instructions. That should be "sudo fdisk -u /dev/sda" not "sudo parted -u /dev/sda". [09:35] Jordan_U: HAH! PWNED!

I have applied the setting in nvidia-settings, however flash appears to ignore it. [09:41] Is there anyone using ipv6? [09:42] I need some help installing the helvetica fonts [09:42] they dont see to show up in my screensavers [09:42] DrManhattan, look into fc-cache [09:42] oscarr_: I would suggest that you use Ubuntu 10.04 for that endeavour. [09:42] DrManhattan, copy the font to .fonts [09:42] hi the clock at the top of the bar (I am using the "classic view") is "cut" meaning that I can read 10.4 instead of 10.48; what should I do? [09:43] WoundedPhoenix: That's everything (though It had to be split into two comments with '...' since there is a length limit to IRC comments). [09:43] Jordan_U: I only got one of them. [09:43] but I think I got the gist [09:43] DrManhattan : sudo fc-cache -fv [09:44] WoundedPhoenix: ... 3074048, then just hit enter to choose the default end sector, then "p" to print the new partition table. After all that no changes will have been made on disk. Pastebin the entire session of fdisk and if it looks good I'll have you write the new partition table to disk with "w".

[09:46] DrManhattan, it cant find hint information [09:46] bullgard4: any particular reason why it's not available on 11.10? [09:46] DrManhattan, use a compatible font [09:46] how do I install the REAL acrobat reader? [09:47] !acrobat [09:47] The Portable Document Format is created by Adobe; PDF files are viewable in Ubuntu with Xpdf, Okular, Evince and also Adobe Reader (free download, but closed source) [09:47] yagoo, it works just fine in every other distro I've tried [09:47] alesan_, winetricks [09:47] Jordan_U: nah, I've done enough partition work to know it looked fine to write. I was just worried about losing data from modifying it. But what the hell, I had to take a chance either way, so. [09:47] yagoo, thats also the default font [09:47] onetwo, ?? [09:47] DrManhattan, maybe [09:47] oscarr_: Technical progress in Linux kernel development. [09:47] alesan, you need wine and winetricks..there you can install the adobe reader [09:47] WoundedPhoenix: I would boot into Windows and run chkdsk on sda2 before doing anything else just to be sure. === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [09:48] alesan_, if you need just a pdf viewer take an alternative [09:48] no I need the real acrobat reader [09:48] I don't have a windows install anymore in preparation to install ubuntun, I deleted windows from the live CD, then went to install and ran into all these wonderful problems. [09:48] I found it is more precise when printing [09:48] oscarr_, its also in the partner reprositries [09:48] alesan_, then wine..

I'll start all over with 10.04. But I would like to know some more about the reasons behind it. I'm no kernel hacker, but I can read and understand tech documents. Are there any discussions on it? [09:50] so, basically no solution for the fonts issue except "use another font"? [09:50] and no vsync in flash video? [09:51] WoundedPhoenix: There only way to really fix an ntfs partition is within Windows, so I'd boot a Windows install CD and use the recovery shell (or whatever it's called) to run chkdsk. === BOB_353585 is now known as aloxxx [09:51] hey [09:51] so, basically no solution for the fonts issue except "use another font"? [09:52] and no vsync in flash video? [09:52] Jordan_U: this is really annoying. The gparted that runs in the installer is NOT letting me change the size of the two partitions.

[09:52] yagoo: yes? [09:52] WoundedPhoenix, i said livecd. [09:52] Is the website down at the moment ? [09:52] (gparted live cd) [09:52] yeesh, kmess is right. Back to scientific for me. At least it didn't bork my HD this time... [09:52] yagoo: i cannot make a gparted livecd. [09:53] well then make one first. [09:53] ubuntu.com that is.

[09:54] KM0201: hmm, I think so. [09:54] WoundedPhoenix: Boot the Windows install CD, run chkdsk, boot back into the Ubuntu installer, and I think you should be able to resize / install normally.

[10:02] * YankDownUnder thinks centimetres are centimetres [10:02] YankDownUnder, well i only found this: http://global.aopen.com/products_detail.aspx?auno=942 and maybe i just miss it but it didn't contain the word "density" :( [10:02] WoundedPhoenix, you obviously could of fixed this 5 hours ago. :p.. move on. [10:03] Jordan_U: My apologies to you for the bow and scrape comment earlier. [10:03] WoundedPhoenix: np :) [10:03] Okay I'm out for the night. goodnight. [10:03] gnite... comeback tmorrow if u need more help === maninho is now known as Guest54307 [10:04] <[manas]> Dr_Willis, sorry mate it doesnt show in fsck that is mounted [10:04] naxa, Well, just in looking at this (I've got a similar board), you're going to have two 1gb chips, and that's all she wrote. [10:05] YankDownUnder, yes but is it ok to have 2 pieces of 1gb _high-density_ ram? [10:05] :( [10:05] even the intel site didn't say anything about density... [10:05] naxa, On mine - which is very very similar, max is two x 1gb - and they have to be the same. === llama is now known as Guest74353 [10:06] YankDownUnder, yes. but are they high-density? or low-density? (e.g. 64*8bit (low) or 128*4bit (high) modules?) [10:07] naxa, Mine are 128's [10:08] YankDownUnder, hey that sounds promising! [10:08] YankDownUnder, thanks for the effort! :) [10:08] naxa, S'all good mate....s'all good [10:08] <[manas]> Dr_Willis, im lost dont know what to do [10:08] We're all lost. [10:09] hey i get this error [10:09] sudo apt-get update [10:09] E: Type 'src' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kmess-packages-kmess-stable-natty.list [10:09] E: The list of sources could not be read. [10:09] naxa - you can probably use decent cheap memory in that [10:09] what to do? [10:10] [manas]: you dont fsck a mounted filesystem. sudo fsck /dev/sdXX with it UNmounted [10:10] I checked out the manual too, says nothing about high or low density ram :( [10:10] DrManhattan, It's an older board, yeah, cheap is good. [10:10] shockrates: check that line, it should start with "deb-src" [10:11] <[manas]> Dr_Willis, fdisk /dev/sdb2 [10:11] <[manas]> Unable to open /dev/sdb2 [10:11] <[manas]> not mounted [10:11] DrManhattan, may i ask what do you mean by cheap memory? i live in hungary, ddr prices are very high, so if i order from ebay, everything is cheap for me in terms of ddr... [10:11] llutz: the file contains those 2 lines [10:11] deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kmess-packages/kmess-stable/ubuntu natty main [10:11] src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kmess-packages/kmess-stable/ubuntu natty main [10:11] [manas]: what are youy trying to do.. to file system CHECK -- its 'fsck' not fdisk [10:11] llutz: should i remove the second line? [10:11] shockrates: the 2nd line is wrong [10:11] naxa, sadly ddr1 is going to be expensive now - I sold 2g of ddr1 for MORE than what I bought it for a couple of months ago [10:11] [manas]: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb would show what FS's are on the device [10:11] shockrates: yes [10:11] naxa: he probably refers to low-cost RAM compared to the higher priced premium RAM that's mostly used for overclocking purposes [10:12] naxa, Don't bother ordering online - find a computer store that sells used stuff - find a few DDR400's that are used. [10:12] Guest74353, naxa , that is correct sir [10:12] k ty llutz [10:12] YankDownUnder, the point is ordering from ebay is cheaper in my country than if i buy in the shop... [10:12] YankDownUnder, about 50% cheaper [10:12] naxa, Hmmm....what about just stealing it? ;) => (joking) [10:13] DrManhattan, Guest74353 thank you! [10:13] YankDownUnder, ;) [10:13] YankDownUnder, I don't think anyone would miss it actually ;) [10:13] hey, anyone have little time for me ?

I'm trying to do something with screen + cronjobs, can anyone help? [10:18] hi guys. did i alraedy mention that libreoffice sucks? it crashed 2 times while having only one spreadsheet open which had 2 simple formulas in it and only 100 cells used! [10:18] <[manas]> Dr_Willis, so what should i do??? [10:18] naxa, if u gonna get ur ram on ebay.. only go for the good brand names.. like kingston, guarantees compatibility [10:18] what is the difference between libreoffice and ooo anyways? [10:19] yagoo, thanks! [10:19] Hello everybody [10:19] question - if i have system on /dev/sdc5 and i want to rebuild system to have only one new disk so it will be /dev/sdaX can i change this /dev/sdc5 to whatever i want? [10:19] [manas]: is that the right hard drive a 120gb hd? [10:19] naxa, ddr1 << i dont think there's a last manufacturer alive still making them.. and your ebay vendor would not be happy if u try to return ur incompatible brand back to him [10:19] lolcat: i've had zero problems out of Libre... it actually seems faster than OO.org to me.. [10:19] yagoo, sure [10:20] oh, btw - anyone know why my recently bought Western Digital Elements External HDD is impossible to mount on Ubuntu 10.04 [10:20] naxa, if its new out of the box then of course it's easier to say its incompatible yada yada [10:20] Can someone please tell why it is so hard to install Ubuntu (whatever version) into a RAID0 system? I can't get it working... [10:20] (like ddr3) [10:20] obviously.. [10:20] !raid [10:20] sklorpion: sdx5 would be the frst logical partition in the extended partition on the hard drive.. Primaries are 1-4, logicals are 5+ [10:20] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [10:20] <[manas]> Dr_Willis, yes it is === Guest22438 is now known as Benji === Benji is now known as EveryNickBeTaken [10:20] sklorpion: I don't understand the question. What are you acctually trying to accomplish? [10:20] how to restore nautilus as the default file manager [10:20] Anybody? [10:21] [manas]: its possible its failed.. or you totally messed it up if you unplugged it while mounting. You may want to try some of the recovery tools if theres a lot of imporntant data on it. [10:21] yagoo, yes. however the shipping would still be a problem i think [10:21] naxa, im pretty sure you can use low or high density ram in that [10:21] naxa, yagoo is right - before buying some sticks, try looking for the compatibility list of the motherboard manufacturer online. [10:21] in fact im sure of it [10:21] Is there an easy way to run a .jar file in a screen on a desktop version of ubuntu?

[10:21] [manas]: never never seen a fulesystem get so currupted it dosent show partition tables on the disk. [10:21] naxa, yeah [10:21] <[manas]> Dr_Willis, its an ipod maybe thats why it doesnt show partition, no its no important data on it [10:21] solexious: clarify 'in a screen' [10:22] you just have to make sure to use the same density chips [10:22] naxa, corsair is another good brand [10:22] a Screen, like you would on a ubuntu server; and you can name it [10:22] Guys can you please answer me? :P [10:22] [manas]: no idea on ipods.. you may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com site. [10:22] whenever i try install something i get an error always - http://paste.ubuntu.com/614858/. I dont even have software sources in my menu. 11.04. Help please [10:22] Jordan_U: i want to copy my system to new disk. now i have 3 different disks and few partition on them, my ubuntu is on /dev/sdc5. I want to have only 1 disk and i gues it will be /dev/sda so system will not work properly after copying all files?! [10:22] <[manas]> Dr_Willis, and its shows fine when i connect it to mac [10:22] how to restore nautilus as the default file manager [10:22] hello guys, sometimes when i log on to ubuntu, ther is a black bar across the screen,like a glitch or something,what is it and how can it be fixed? [10:22] sklorpion, maybe clonezilla does this [10:23] usually on a server you use "screen -S NAME" [10:23] Hello??? [10:23] Dr_Willis: It may be using Apple Partition Map, which fdisk does not understand. [10:23] [manas]: i would have the mac scan/verify the filesystem. [10:23] yagoo: thx for tip [10:23] naxa, hell, in the install picture they're putting in a stick of Kingston HYperX ddr 3500 [10:23] nigel34: your boot screen will eventually die in my experience. [10:23] DrManhattan, haha i missed that [10:24] naxa, yeah thats pretty intense ram, from back in the day [10:24] <[manas]> Dr_Willis, i done ipod restore on it its works fine just when im connecting it to ubuntu its give me error [10:24] lordrev:it boots perfectly, but its on the desktop background thats the problem [10:24] DrManhattan, oh by the way i think that install picture is some generic image. i have only two slots! the actual image is on the top opage [10:24] [manas], i believe ipods may use hfs+ [10:24] lordrev:i mean everything works well, but its just a black bar or band down the screen [10:25] how to restore nautilus as the default file manager ?????? [10:25] [manas], u reminded me about my new ipod touch.. i never bothered mounting in linux :p [10:25] lol [10:25] naxa, aha! well I guess you take your chances, but my bet is that motherboard will handle it just fine [10:25] Hi all! I have problem with Serios Sam First Enc (linux game edition). So it is very fast. I think that is and SDL timer bug/problem. Any know how fix it? Ubuntu 10.04 LTS? [10:25] Guys tell me at least yes or no. Is there a 100% working method to install Ubuntu SUCCESFULLY on a RAID0 system with already 2 NTFS partitions in it? [10:25] [manas], i dont know anything if its possible to mount ipods in linux.. so i'd be clueless about this [10:25] <[manas]> yagoo, its an ipod clasic === KptKorsarz is now known as kichawa [10:25] Cr4z33, I did that in ubuntu 10.10 and it worked fine, even resized my ntfs partition on the raid0 device [10:26] I cannot vouch for it in 11.04 [10:26] DrManhattan, and were you able to see RAID0 partitions during Ubuntu setup? I didn't [10:26] could it be a graphics problem, or just a bug? [10:26] <[manas]> yagoo, i mounted it after try to delete some music forgot to umnout it and swich off my pc, done restore on mac now im getting this error [10:26] Cr4z33, that is correct sir - what raid controller are you using? [10:27] DrManhattan, ICH Intel stuff. I have an Asus RAmpage III [10:27] ICH 10 [10:27] Cr4z33, I have an asus p5qse/r and it worked great for me [10:27] Cr4z33, well u do dedicate the RAID0 system to one OS to be safe.. I don't know much about advanced RAID setups.. but i don't believe RAID was meant for multi-Oses bootups.. (however u can use Vmware/virtualbox in case u really don't have further time) [10:27] ich10r here [10:28] Cr4z33, do you have ich10 or ich10r [10:28] <[manas]> yagoo maybe its somethere blovk log or how it called [10:28] DrManhattan, let me check. brb :P [10:28] Hello people... I've intalled Ubuntu 11.04 but cannot get Bluetooth to work.. . [10:28] Rampage III should be ICH10 [10:28] can anyone help ? ? [10:28] how is he pulling off raid0 with ich10? [10:29] software raid? [10:29] err, ICH10R i meant [10:29] how to restore nautilus as the default file manager ?????? [10:29] ??/ [10:29] ?

[10:30] unity [10:30] aha [10:30] yes [10:30] DrManhattan thanks #sip [10:30] i installed Nautilus-Elementary with some stupid way [10:30] Cr4z33, it SHOULD pick it up - maybe you need to put in dodmraid at the command line? [10:30] i cant restore nautilus as default [10:30] I've gotta go. thank you everyone for helping! [10:30] Could anyone help me how I can install bluetooth driver in my Ubuntu 11.04 [10:30] ? ? [10:31] DrManhattan, I am a Linux newbie. However I tried both normal and alternate setups of 10.10 too === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [10:31] aborady, probaby there's a better site-> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=902795 (u may need to use gconf edit tool if can't change it system/preferences) [10:31] naxa, good luck [10:31] Cr4z33, have you tried putting in dodmraid when you install? I think its in the f6 options but I could be wrong - please give it a shot? [10:32] I'm new to Linux or Ubuntu [10:32] DrManhattan, sorry what's that? you mean loading RAID drivers disk? === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [10:33] aborady, unity.. not sure [10:33] Cr4z33, no I mean when you go to install ubuntu [10:33] i dont have system / prefrences in unity [10:33] no way to edit gconf to restore nautilus ? [10:33] aborady, if u cant find something for it graphically.. maybe launching gconf editor manually from somewhere may fix things [10:33] DrManhattan, no I didn't try it. What is it? [10:34] ok i opened gconf-editor [10:34] Hmm - can anyone a little more familiar with the ubuntu 11.04 boot process please tell Cr4z33 when/how to punch boot options in? He needs better support for dmraid [10:34] aborady, a simple easiest way is to make another account, log in to it and compare the gconf values [10:34] is there a substitute for MS-Silverlight on Ubuntu? I'm fond of watching streams of sporting events that rarely get broadcasted around here, but most of those streams use Silverlight :-/ [10:35] aborady: the webupd8 blog site has dome commands mentioned in a posting about 3 weeks ago on resetting unity, gnome, and compiz back to defaults [10:35] Come on guys - pretty simple stuff here - where does one put in options for boot on the ubuntu livecd? [10:35] DrManhattan, I actually want to install v10.4 but I think it's same thing right? :P [10:35] Guest11276, silverlight is avail to linux.. m$ fears linux enough to make a plugin [10:35] Can anyone help me get this BASH code running on my Ubuntu Desktop? http://pastebin.com/J7SSDbDA [10:35] DrManhattan: hit space when you see the man/logo and then theres some F keys on the next screen [10:35] Cr4z33, in 10.4 you have a screen at the beginning, I believe === th3t0xic is now known as t0xic [10:35] oh really? Great news. Never actually tried installing it, I figured it would not work regardless [10:36] Dr_Willis, thank you [10:36] Dr_Willis thanks [10:36] Guest11276: if they yse the DRM feature of silverlight. then the Linux alternative wont work. [10:36] DrManhattan, and should I try the normal or alternate setup? [10:36] Some_Person, that's not strictly true.. [10:36] Some_Person, you may need to use a classpath variable [10:37] firefox used to have a silverlight sort of linux sub which stopped working in firefox 4 [10:37] Cr4z33, I'd use the normal but I'd stick dodmraid in as a boot option if I wanted to go side by side with windows on a raid0 device [10:37] still traditional 3.something here. No FF4 [10:37] Cr4z33, Ubuntu 10.10 will do it, I can verify that personally - I don't know about 10.4 though [10:38] DrManhattan, OK so normal setup then SPACE at logo loading to get dodmraid right? [10:39] Cr4z33, DrManhattan: hit space when you see the man/logo and then theres some F keys on the next screen [10:39] i cant install Ubuntu on Compaq SG314512 if UBUNTU installed its hang forever [10:39] Somedude7, you may need to use a classpath variable [10:40] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233082 [10:40] im buying that in a couple of days [10:40] Somedude7, (and know if u should be using sunjava or to avoid gcj-java) [10:40] DrManhattan, OK thanks. === damaltor1 is now known as damaltor [10:41] Cr4z33, let me know how it goes [10:41] yagoo, I don't know what a classpath variable is.

[10:45] I am mapping a remote. "showkey -k" gives me info for EVERY keypress, but "showkey -s" only gives info for certain keys. Can I somehow map the unknown scancodes to custom ones? [10:46] DrManhattan, sorry for late reply. I am downloading v10.10 and preparing partitions. Will come back later and let you know :P [10:46] Dr_Willis of windows yes [10:46] Cr4z33, right on [10:46] ubuntu wont boot for me. im stuck at a prompt saying (initramfs) i guess its busybox shell or something. help me please im online from my phone :( [10:46] Juraj, u resetted ur machine while the partitions we're being changed with the ubuntu installer? [10:46] Juraj: check your disk partition layout. I have seen new windows machines that come with 4 primary partitions. this makes it much harder to get linux installed. [10:47] Yagoo: yes [10:47] Juraj: from the ubuntu live cd, check 'sudo fdisk -l' output for the hard drive. [10:47] yagoo, I can run the server fine already. The script i linked is supposed to be used to make it so the server restarts at different times. from what I can tell, I just need to have the server started in a screen.. I'm wondering if there's an easy way to do that on ubuntu desktop [10:47] Juraj, it may have just been doing checkdisk at the start. [10:47] Dr_Willis yes it has 4 but it won even start [10:47] Juraj, run a checkdisk against the ntfs... [10:47] resetted = rebooted - :) if it has 4 primary then you must do some deletion to make one an extended [10:48] Juraj, nways.. i can't say more than that.. u pretty much um.. should of let it finished. [10:48] anyone? :( [10:49] Ive found that windows can resize ntfs MUCH faster then the Ubuntu installer does also. IF you dont have 4 primary, you could resize one of the logicals from within windows and save some time when you install ubuntu. [10:49] okey, thanks very much [10:49] Somedude7, look into crontab stuff [10:49] ubuntu wont boot for me. im stuck at a prompt saying (initramfs) i guess its busybox shell or something. help me please im online from my phone :( [10:50] Guest11276, yah.. thats grub [10:51] Guest11276, use initrd with grub setting... maybe a symlink got missing or something [10:51] yagoo, how do i fix this? when i type exit it says cant find etc/root/console or something and wont go furter [10:51] Guest11276, u can post ur grub.cfg if its grub2 [10:51] yagoo, im a noob. no idea about any of that stuff. sorry :( [10:51] (pastebin) [10:51] Guest11276, u installing more than 1 linux?

[10:59] Name141: when you browse to that folder from windows, it will request a user name and password. Enter the details for the ubuntu user account you created [10:59] MattMurray: hit the tab key as you enter the command. make it auto-comnplete the name...

Isn't this supposed to work the otherway round, and is it possible to map keycodes which don't have a scancode? [11:00] MattMurray: try this then: 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' [11:00] Tab completion in Ubuntu - is very very wel done. works in all sorts of places. [11:00] pvh_sa: you are welcome [11:00] r0fs3ck5, how do i get in? :( [11:00] yagoo: noteworthy is that I no longer have vimkeys either. .profile is ignored as well [11:01] every time while i am login to ubuntu , i am getting a message that " cannot find /tmp , press F to fix or I ignore blah blah blha...." how can i solve this problem [11:01] Guest11276, u can attach usb drives, use a livecd linux and backup ur stuff..

[11:01] kapu, vimkeys .. like u mean bash preference? [11:01] im starting to hate ubuntu. whyd this hhappen in the first place? [11:01] it was a fresh install [11:02] kapu, somewhere in shopt command (bash builtin) there's a pref for vim/emacs i believe [11:02] yagoo in .profile 'vim -o' [11:02] nothing happened [11:02] ^ came up [11:02] i mean vi -o [11:02] MattMurray: now type 'ifconfig wlan0' [11:02] ok [11:02] kapu, if u use console then this isn't ubuntu related [11:03] yagoo :- UBUNTU 10.10 not freezes on login ...its freezes after login ....UBUNTU gives me time for play but after 3 or 4 minutes its freezes [11:03] kapu, you should know how to fix this.. [11:03] Dr_Willis, Something to think about: http://www.fukung.net/v/31579/343c368fdd587e0a3ab96c0362dade02.png [11:03] yagoo: fair enough [11:03] i'm on openbsd yikes [11:03] oh [11:03] but all very posix no? [11:03] Hi. After a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04 I get error: out of disk message. After pressing Enter, it boots up fine. Does this have to do with the fact that I have that WD green that should have 4k sectors? [11:04] should i write what came up? [11:04] they implement startx differently. [11:04] MattMurray: did it have an IP address? [11:04] so better to ask #*bsd/related [11:04] no [11:04] yagoo: yeah my bad [11:05] lots' of things, but i can't see an ip [11:05] MattMurray: you need to access your nmapplet, which is the little network icon near the clock. [11:05] u can dteremine if u use .Xsessions/.xsessions/.xinitrc/etc/etc by studying the startx script and /etc/X11 stuff [11:05] Fragy, I've had issues with the WD green drives - my resolution for ALL of them is now to stick them in an external drive housing, partition them THERE, then use them in the system I'm setting up. Sounds like a kludge, but it works - at least here for me and my clients. I try to steer clear of the WD green drives... [11:05] i have got access to tat [11:05] *that [11:06] I have not heard anything good about the WD green drives either. I advise my friends to avoid them also. [11:06] MattMurray: tell me if you see a wlan there [11:06] Dr_Willis, they don't run as fast.. [11:06] whats a wlan [11:06] MattMurray, wlan0 is the first wifi device [11:06] i try to create a bootable cd with BOIS file to update my BOIS but the iage of dos bootable and the bois update program which I downloaded from the company site is in exe and it hould be open by archive manager but it does not how could i open them? [11:07] MattMurray: wireless lan [11:07] iage ****image [11:07] yes, it sows 5 wifi netowrks [11:07] MattMurray: you need to enable the wlan0 [11:07] how do i do that please [11:07] MattMurray: you simply click on it. [11:08] enable wireless, and enable networking are both ticked [11:08] MattMurray: youi need to *left* click on the nmapplet [11:08] if i do "sleep 20 && conkey " <- is it 20 sec or min? or what? [11:08] i did, then should i click on my network yh? [11:09] amin`, mount a fat16 bootdisk image.. copy the program and bios firmware to mountpoint. (u can extract floppies from .exe from bootdisk.com -- use msdos622)-- Burn this specially->> use disk-emulation burn option, to burn this floppy image to cd.. then boot with cd [11:09] MattMurray: then *left* click on wlan0 [11:09] sklorpion: man sleep (its seconds) [11:09] iceroot: ty [11:09] , I have one external box for disks, which you can connect to computer with USB cable. I should create a new partition table there? [11:09] sorry, im a total noob, is wlan0 the first network [11:09] MattMurray: your wlan0 device should then be up [11:10] it is up [11:10] but it wont connect to it [11:10] amin`, is the .exe an archive or program? [11:10] MattMurray: select the wireless network you wish to connect to and enter your details [11:10] MattMurray, u reading me? :) [11:10] iceroot: so i put that thing in gnome autostart and nothing happnd how can i find out if gnome even tryed to start it? [11:10] MattMurray, I said its the first wifi device [11:11] MattMurray, it's the physical component of the local machine [11:11] iceroot: no process "conky" at all [11:11] Fragy, Mate, this is the resolution I've had to come up with - I banged my head badly trying to get a WD green drive to work, ended up buying another (non WD) for the client - in being stuck with the WD green, I experiemented and found this to be the resolution that works; so yeah, do all yer partitioning manually in the external housing, then stick it in the target machine, make sure you do the "manual partitioning" and you [11:11] don't have to really format any of the partitions, just let the installer write the map to the drive and off you go mate. [11:11] i did, i clicked on it entered the pasword, it tries to connect for a while, but then just disconnects [11:11] MattMurray, like first harddrive or first mouse.. [11:11] yagoo: both , first it will extract and run the program [11:11] raju, ? [11:11] sklorpion: use absolute path [11:12] MattMurray: can you please type iwconfig? [11:12] yagoo: the upadte bois is program i think and i got the drive free dos from that site U meaned and the name isdrdflash.exe and itg should be archive [11:12] MattMurray: in the terminal [11:12] i did [11:12] amin`, msdos622 is downloadable from bootdisk.. i only trust msdoss622 for bios upgrades..

[11:13] iceroot: befor it was just "conky" and it worked after adding sleep 20 && conky nothing happend, what for is those "&&" why not "|" or just one "&" ? [11:13] [11:13] use 7za or asimilar to extract the .exe files (these exes have zip headers in them) [11:13] yagoo: that executable program will archive and when we click that code will comeout and run from that archive . run any .exe click at show details it will show first the extraction and next execution [11:13] sklorpion: you want sleep 20 then conky on the next line.. no & after sleep 20 [11:13] MattMurray: that means you probably have an authentication problem. [11:13] sklorpion: so perhaps sleep 20 then conky & [11:13] raju, so is there a dos bios upgrade method, yes/no? [11:13] how do i solve tat? [11:14] *that [11:14] raju, if there's windows and u going the windows way.. then dunno what u asking [11:14] we can upgrade dos [11:14] MattMurray: check the password is correct. [11:14] MattMurray: also check you are connecting to the correct network [11:14] it's definately correct, i checked like 3 times, [11:14] yagoo: i am not asking , just telling to yours messgae [11:14] * yagoo amin`, raju working together same call spot? [11:14] yagoo this site that u gave me look at it the i got "Driver Free Disk For BIOS Flashing" the 3rd in line is it that? [11:14] raju, can um [11:14] ok [11:14] * yagoo ignores raju [11:15] its connects fine on windwpos, just on ubuntu it dosn't [11:15] * raju ignore yagoo [11:15] * raju ha ha ha [11:15] Dr_Willis: i want that becouse of my problem with conky i found out that sometimes there might be some problems if u run conky during the start (i had diffrent window then when i run it manually), the answer was sleep 20 && conky but after this nothing happend [11:15] MattMurray: hang around, I'll find you a link for enabling wireless in ubuntu. [11:15] thanks === SyGeek1 is now known as SyGeek [11:16] Dr_Willis: so i want system to wait 20 sec and then start conky [11:17] sklorpion: there should be no need to do 'sleep &&' [11:17] Dr_Willis: i'll try to do simple script and put it in autostart of gnom [11:17] e [11:17] I can't use arrow keys to "reuse" my previous commands in ubuntu 10.04 server. how can I fix this? [11:17] sklorpion: 'sleep 20' should work.. sleep 20 && - runs the next command IF sleep returns a succss error code. === Timic_ is now known as Timic [11:17] sklorpion: sleep 20 & -> is TOTALLY differnt.. it will run the command and sleep in the background, then run the next command.. so sleep des nothing in that case [11:18] Dr_Willis: yes but i cant solve my problem with out sleep. If conky starts with system/gnome it makes strange window not the same as if i start it manually [11:18] MattMurray: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WirelessTroubleshootingGuide [11:18] sklorpion: i aways make a startconky.sjh script that does sleep 20 then runs conky on the next line.

[11:27] what is the differenc in performerence id i compile systm from sources like gentoo? Is it visable? [11:27] Dr_Willis: works perfectly :] [11:27] sklorpion: what does? :) I dont find recompiling stuff - worth the effort. [11:27] bl4nd: the ubuntu installer can format it [11:27] bl4nd: whats your video chipset? [11:28] bl4nd: if you are installing it over a network, you should give it some time [11:28] sklorpion: i mentoned earlier that you dont need sleep 20 && unless you feel the need to have both commands on the same line.. [11:28] skeep 20 [11:28] i get the option to instal in english then the 5 other options , then when i click instal server, it jst goers blank [11:28] conky [11:28] works just as well.

[11:28] its a tower on its own at the minute [11:29] not on a network jst yet [11:29] Dr_Willis: looks more pro :-) lol [11:29] looks more silly :) [11:30] im not sure how 'sleep 20' could ever fail. unless you did a ctrl-c to it, [11:30] so u dont find compiling fom source as good idea to speed up system? [11:30] bl4nd: what version? [11:30] the new one , erm , 11 [11:30] sklorpion: i doubt if you will gain much.. and spend a lot of time doing it.. [11:30] bl4nd: sorry have not tried [11:31] should i get 10 down again ?.. [11:31] I used gentoo for some time. spent all day just recompiling stuff...

"adduser --home /var/lib/debarchiver --system --disabled-password --gecos "Deb archiving tool" --group debarchiver" [11:43] debarchive? [11:43] bencc: the proper way would be to do 'sudo command' not sudo su command [11:43] Guest41559: the user a package named debarchiver created [11:44] if you want a root shell , then sudo -i is the normal way tod o it. [11:44] bencc, sudo is not su [11:44] sudo su - [11:44] Dr_Willis: I want to to run something as the :debarchiver: user [11:44] sudo su is redundant [11:44] bencc: does the home exist? [11:44] bencc: the sudo command has a 'run as this user' option i recall [11:45] LjL: yes. if not shouldn't I see an error? [11:45] thunder1212: ask in here, don't private message me. [11:45] just use "su -" [11:45] (same as su -l) [11:45] yagoo: su - will not work on ubuntu by default [11:45] yagoo: that switches to the root user [11:45] at least not normally :) [11:45] bencc: not sure actually, but for some of my users it just drops me back to the old user's shell [11:45] bencc, then don't use it. [11:45] bencc, u mentioned it. [11:45] yagoo, no he didn't [11:45] so how can I switch to this user or at least run a command as that user? [11:46] bencc: sudo has options to run a command as a user.. [11:46] what is alternative to the "find" command [11:46] bencc: man sudo... look at the -u option [11:46] i have a pc which connects to the net using a usb modem [11:46] Dr_Willis: sudo -c? [11:46] rhada777: locate command. but it depends on your needs [11:46] i have ohter pcs which is connected via lan cables [11:46] rhada777:locate [11:46] bencc: check man sudo [11:46] i want to share the net connection [11:46] manpage sudoers [11:46] Im not on a Linux box.. so cant veryify [11:46] bencc, i've just tried creating a user the way you described, and the shell is set to "/bin/false" by default [11:47] bencc: so you probably want to edit /etc/passwd and set it to /bin/sh instead [11:47] bencc: (or /bin/bash) [11:47] ok [11:47] Dr_Willis looking for a python egg I installed [11:47] * yagoo says chsh [11:47] ?? [11:47] LjL: so that's the problem? [11:47] LjL: they should have specify the shell? [11:47] ? [11:47] bencc: i think so. without it, it just drops me back to my shell without saying anything. [11:48] !modem > thunder1212 [11:48] thunder1212, please see my private message [11:48] LjL, you're old craft unix.. juse use chsh [11:48] yagoo: bash is the Ubuntu default. [11:48] chsh is a command [11:48] LjL: trying to change the shell [11:48] fool. [11:48] :) [11:48] the modem connects to the internet [11:48] yagoo: i have no idea what you're on about. [11:48] Most modems do. :) [11:48] i want to share the connection over the lan [11:49] yeah :) [11:49] manpage chsh < can changes login shell.. no need to ever edit /etc/passwd <<< this is old slow unix way of doing things [11:50] yagoo: ah i see, yeah that's probably a better way to do it [11:50] LjL: works [11:50] bencc: nice [11:50] LjL: is this a bug in the debarchiver package? [11:50] zvacet: locate command not found uum [11:50] LjL: or is there another way to run a command as that user without changing his shell? [11:50] thought it was standard [11:50] Dr_Willis: is there some global log for errors/warnings from apllications? Those errors which are normally displeyed in terminal if u run them there. [11:50] thunder1212, sharing internet connections in Linux is not that easy actually. If it's for a home network, you're better off getting a modem that supports it. Else have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [11:51] bencc: i don't think so - it's common practice for "special" users to have no shell (and Dr_Willis is probably right, but i didn't try, that you could use sudo's command-running abilities to bypass the shell requirement) [11:51] LjL: how can I check it? echo $HOME or something? [11:51] thunder1212, although the networkmanager method described on there seems pretty easy actually, on second thought. [11:52] bencc: echo $SHELL [11:52] bencc, ? [11:52] bencc, linux would be pretty insecure if u can do that.. i would suspect if u can bypass it with sudo u won't get the same env needed for ur script [11:53] i'm thinking about getting xubuntu, what you think [11:53] "sudo -u debarchiver echo $HOME" gives me /bin/bash so it's not running as the debarchiver user [11:53] ive just tried xubuntu pretty lighweight and fast [11:53] metbsd: depends on your needs. [11:53] metbsd, i think u should download it right now. RIGHT NOW! [11:53] bencc: try sudo -u debarchiver 'echo $HOME' [11:53] lubuntu - is also very light and very useable. [11:53] +1 lubuntu [11:53] bencc: no that won't work, nevermind [11:54] sorry, how many buntus are there? what's lubuntu?

Now, after restarting my computer, it does accept password with new username , but it says "could not update ICEauthority file /home/myOldUsername/.ICEauthority" and there's no such directory as myOldUsername in my system. I've delted it. what should i do? i can't see any gui on my ubuntu. [11:54] Shows all user info. [11:55] *rename [11:55] typing that command (sudo) is started off from not-debarchiver.. I don't see the practicality of this when u can just use a scheduled script [11:55] but xubuntu is official? [11:55] and there's speedy apt-get? [11:55] yeah its ubuntu with xfce [11:55] is there any ways that we can install yahoo in ubuntu [11:55] metbsd: they all use the same repos. [11:55] sathis: clarify what you neam by installing 'yahoo' [11:55] rhada777: try with witch [11:56] Dr_Willis i like have yahoo messenger [11:56] !im [11:56] The Instant Messenger client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [11:56] thers dozens of IM clients that can do yahoo chat protocall. [11:56] theres an option in the network manager in the to share the internet connection to other computers [11:56] when i select that option [11:57] the eth disconnects [11:57] try the default IM client yet sathis? [11:57] when i do auto dhcp it connects [11:57] xubuntu installs with pidgin by default too [11:57] that is the problem [11:57] u mean that ekiga Dr_Willis [11:57] ?? [11:57] sathis: i dont use any of the IM clients. so no idea [11:58] Dr_Willis, liar.. [11:58] i mean, is there plugin to speed up download speed of apt-get [11:58] Dr_Willis, you're using irc right now [11:58] Dr_Willis: LjL: su - targetuser -s /bin/bash [11:58] irc is not an IM client [11:58] its IRC. [11:58] yes it is. [11:58] all we have xchat with ubunt [11:58] irc is an instant messenger.. even pidgin does irc [11:58] Hyperbyte: finger debarchiver ? [11:58] but i need yahoo messenger [11:58] bencc: finger shows all user info, shows you which shell they have, which home, etc. [11:58] No its not... ive been on irc since its been out... the fact some IM clients do IRC does not make IRC an IM client [11:58] ?? [11:58] what should i do [11:59] Hyperbyte: I know the shell by looking at /etc/passwd [11:59] Dr_Willis, IM IM [11:59] sathis: most of the IM clients can do Yahoo. Yahoo has no official Linux im client that i know of. [11:59] sathis: you can setup pidgin to handle yahoo messenger and many more [11:59] thunder1212: be patient! What you should do is enable internet connection sharing on the interface you want to share it -on-, not the internet you want to share. [11:59] sathis, Pidgin works with yahoo IM. [11:59] Most of the IM clients out work with Yahoo i imagine. === yagoo is now known as yahoo [11:59] bencc, then what exactly is your problem now? :) [11:59] IM IM [11:59] i know === yahoo is now known as yagoo [12:00] Sidewinder1 so just apt-get install pidgin enough [12:00] !info pidgin [12:00] pidgin (source: pidgin): multi-protocol instant messaging client.

[12:01] sathis, If it's not already installed, yes; then you'll have to configure it to work with whatever services that you want: Yahoo, AIM, etc... [12:01] metbsd, closer mirror [12:01] metbsd: not that ive noticed. [12:02] thunder1212, you need one interface that connects to your modem. Another interface that connects to your local network or computer you want to share with. The interface to your modem can be anything, DHCP, static... the interface you want to share on cannot be 'auto' and it needs to have internet connection sharing enabled. [12:02] a plugin to speed up download.. heh [12:02] metbsd http://www.debian.org/mirror/list [12:02] but redhat has it.. they have plugin to use aria2c to download stuff with yum [12:02] !mirror [12:02] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Natty, and help keeping the servers' load low!

[12:05] yagoo, resolving dependencies will try to download the same .deb package from multiple sites to speed up download speed? [12:05] where are you from guys? :) [12:05] metbsd, i already answered ur question [12:06] i am from rapist land [12:06] i mean germany [12:06] sry for the typo [12:06] do you know some fun terminal commands :) [12:06] metbsd, if u think the mirror being used or resolved to is slow.. try manually using traceroute and find out the fastest repo [12:06] i know some [12:06] me too [12:06] !find mirrorselect [12:06] sudo rm -rf / [12:06] Package/file mirrorselect does not exist in natty [12:06] There used to be some mirror scan/pick the fastest tool [12:06] what is that command for?

[12:08] HOW TO REPLACE THE DOWNLOADING TOOL THE APT-GET USES? SUCH AS ARIA2C FOR REPLACEMENT [12:08] * yagoo thinks if he jumps while talking on the phone will make the volume louder [12:08] Dr_Willis, i tried -e but everything is just unzipped in the same folder [12:08] which is bad [12:08] Diverdude: perhaps tahts how x and e differ [12:09] metbsd, stop thinking like a caveman.. we've all seen wheels before [12:09] lol [12:09] everybody keeps avoiding my question or everybody simply don't know what i am consulting here [12:09] metbsd, stop please [12:09] so, is there such thing in ubuntu? [12:09] metbsd: i imagine its covered in the apt-get manual url i mentioned earlier. - ive never seen it changed to anyting other then wget, or perhps curl [12:10] metbsd: changing wget and curl won't solve your problem [12:11] !info apttorrent [12:11] Package apttorrent does not exist in natty [12:11] theres some apt torrent tool.. but never seen that commonly used either [12:12] For a network with several pcs - the use of apt-cacher-ng can help a great deal [12:12] wget is slow due to its single connection download [12:12] i want multi connection implement during apt-get downloading time [12:12] metbsd, ? [12:13] metbsd, you guess about how networks work.. the server can be limitting the "bandwidth".. so it has nothing to do with any control on the client side [12:13] metbsd: just change mirrors. normally the download speeds will max out your available bandwidth. [12:14] Q: How can I shape network useage on Ubuntu, for example prevent Skype from using my connection as a super node by throttling its access to the internet [12:15] i really just want to use a multi connection application be used in apt-get. Multiconnection apps such as aria2c, axel. Is there such way to config apt-get to that multiconnection apps? [12:15] metbsd: https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/apt-metalink [12:15] (10 connections can be as fast as 1 connection to the same server-- because of bandwidth reserve per client) [12:15] how to get connected to my ubuntu-VM from putty in my windows [12:15] ok how to use it?

[12:17] sathis: you could install xming and connect that way to the remote/vm also and be able to run X apps and have them appear on the windows desktop [12:17] !classic | Teknomancer [12:17] Teknomancer: 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. [12:17] ??? [12:17] / [12:17] cool, thanks LjL i'll try that, i thought classic gnome was completely removed and i needed some pkg fiddling [12:17] Dr_Willis i was only able to ping the vm-ubuntu [12:18] the classic gnome desktop is not totally like the old gnome. but its lose.. of course classic gnome is going to not be in the next release i hear. [12:18] Teknomancer: it will be removed in the next version, but for now it's there [12:18] sathis: you did install a ssh server? [12:18] How do I login to my shared folders via windows? [12:18] Do I need to make samba users? [12:18] no ides Dr_Willis [12:18] LjL, that's old.. it mentions debian but not ubuntu so it's all pretty dangerous for him to try this no? [12:18] sathis: i guess thats a NO then. [12:18] Or is it possible to login with the user on the machine ? [12:18] ok is that was missing how can i find that ssh was not installed [12:18] how to manually set ip [12:19] for sharing net connectoin [12:19] Name141: i make identical named users on windows and linux, give them a samba password via 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' [12:19] yes apt-metalink is what im looking for [12:19] ??

I need to 'smbpasswd -a test2' ? [12:20] Name141: samba is totally differnt then ssh. each samba user can have their own smb password.. that can be differn tthen their login password.

My externals are full already and thus can't use them. [12:23] ive not seen a bootsector virus in years.. :) and any that would affect a linux box.. i would find even more rarer. [12:24] Name141: backup from what exactly to what os exactly? [12:24] XP -> ubuntu [12:24] you can use winscp and ssh for that Name141 [12:24] then later that data back to XP [12:24] ah yeah..

[13:08] Xaev, Then you'll need to boot into Win and run the .exe file. [13:08] its either a tool that does it.. or its a self extacting arcvhive Xaevo [13:08] its either a tool that does it.. or its a self extacting arcvhive Xaev [13:08] can i check that how much ram my mobo supports [13:08] ive seen some pc's these days that can update the bios from the bios screens [13:09] Dr_Willis: i wouldn't buy anything else :) [13:09] Ive rarey ever needed to update my bios [13:09] anyone good with ettercap?

[13:10] I only use Ubuntu here [13:10] joakimk: sounds like that java app is not fullscreening properly. perhaps try to set its layer to be 'on top' [13:10] does somebody know what script is managing xapian in USC [13:10] Hyperbyte: in order to run a program in fullscreen... [13:10] joakimk, if it's for kiosk mode you could consider not starting gnome-panel at all [13:11] Is it possible to run netflix view now on ubuntu yet? [13:11] joakimk: ive seen java apps do all sorts of things.. badly in fullscreening and other areas [13:11] Dr willis when you are amidst your work and suddenly your screen goes black and it logs off, I'm thankful I hve very calm nerves [13:11] kLown: not that ive seen/heard of. [13:11] Xaev, Most times one sees an .exe file, it's windows based. [13:11] joakimk, otherwise you could set the panel to hide automatically in the options === Starlight is now known as Guest83285 [13:11] Hyperbyte: kiosk mode, yes :) OK I see [13:11] can i sniff over network in ubuntu [13:11] Dr_Willis: thanks. thats one thing thats going to keep me from switching over to ubuntu completely. [13:12] Dr_Willis: yes, fullscreen in Ubuntu 10 worked fine... [13:12] joakimk, ah, well, then gnome-panel is the program that creates the bottom/top panels for Gnome. If you don't want people to be able to use them, make sure gnome-panel doesn't get started. [13:12] kLown: they only recently got netflix supported on some android phones.. and Google/chrome and netflix are supposuibly a comming thing with the html5 stuff. [13:12] ehh what? [13:12] Dr_Willis i have installed the sirc in via putty [13:12] but now how to get connected to ird [13:12] but now how to get connected to irc [13:13] Dr_Willis: yeah I was real excited when it was released to my phone :D [13:13] I just had an idea I want to ask you guys about [13:13] Xaev: dun steal my nicl D: [13:13] nick* [13:13] safire: most irc clients have a /connect command [13:13] hungryhubby, Try nmap [13:13] joakimk, you could probably even 'apt-get remove gnome-panel' without breaking Gnome, and then create a ~/.gnomerc file to start the program you want for the kiosk mode (not sure if this is the best way though) [13:13] I'm sorry man but mine contains a latin character and it doesnt show here [13:13] kLown: it dosent work on my phone yet. :) but i got a dozen other devices that can do netflix. so i dont really need it on my linux box's [13:13] I'll flip to my other nick === Xaev is now known as Awolf [13:14] usc says ethercap?

[13:19] gregdiesel, also see exec()... that might more be what you want, but again, seek PHP support, not Ubuntu. :) [13:19] Guest83285: extract the new vertion to the proper /opt/ dir.. or remove the old.. and insatll the new.

[13:33] which is best? xubuntu?ubuntu?edubuntu?kubuntu? [13:34] Ddpbf: i did a search for the error message (after you suggested the command line) and found something similiar [13:34] metbsd, depends on your needs [13:34] Ddpbf: that fixed it, thanks alot [13:34] cheers [13:34] metbsd, there is no best - that's why there's a choice [13:34] pianolender, I'm not sure you'll likely use the alternate cd and depending on if you're using llvm or mdadm (sp?) [13:34] bazhang, im now downloading xbuntu, will i be ok to convert xubuntu to edubuntu? [13:34] metbsd, the one which you like [13:34] greenmang0, i haven't installed any, just downloading xubuntu [13:34] metbsd, what do u mean convert [13:34] metbsd, sure the edubuntu-desktop package can do that iirc (let me check) [13:34] metbsd edubuntu is just a different selection of packages [13:35] sudokill, i mean,now i installed xubuntu, later i make it become edubuntu [13:35] or kubuntu even [13:35] cpc4: I have seen notices about mdadm and lvm, but didn [13:35] metbsd, yes, install that package (metapackage) and it will bring in the rest [13:35] yea u can use all ur files [13:35] how i connect nokia c300 to ubuntu 10.10 for using internet [13:36] cpc4: I have seen notices about mdadm and lvm, but didn't understand where they must be started from if I haven't a system yet? [13:36] metbsd: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [13:36] pianolender, is raid already set up or are you looking to set up a new raid install? [13:36] metbsd, similarly for kubuntu-desktop etc [13:36] bazhang, when im in xubuntu, will i have xubuntu-desktop? [13:36] is that ok to remove my xubuntu-desktop ? [13:36] cpc4: I have a built-in raid controller on MB, and raid partition is already configured [13:36] metbsd, its a metapackage, removing it will do nothing [13:36] it wont do anything [13:36] pianolender, sorry I can't help you more specifically, i have not set up softraid myself, though between the ubuntu and arch wikis you should be able to figure it out [13:37] pianolender, ahh, but no data on it? [13:37] cpc4: yes [13:37] so i remove my xubuntu-desktop, and install edubuntu-desktop, my os become edubuntu? [13:37] pianolender, from what I have read, it is generally advised to use software raid (at least i am in that camp) [13:37] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [13:37] what's a minimim installer iso i can get without any buntu [13:37] metbsd: It will allways be ubuntu [13:37] pianolender, becaues if your HW raid controller craps out you'll have a more difficult recovery [13:37] metbsd, again, removing xubuntu-desktop wont get rid of xubuntu, so no. choose edubuntu at the login window [13:37] i may install that first, and then decide which desktop [13:38] pianolender, and software raid performance has come quite far [13:38] metbsd ud have to use another distro [13:38] and put ur own de on it [13:38] :) === mac_ is now known as help [13:38] sudokill, thats not correct. [13:38] ok [13:38] pianolender,sorry, that's all I've read :) [13:38] cpc4: so, the choice is to install alternate edition and configure a raid after installation? [13:38] is there an ubuntu without a de? [13:38] pianolender, typically, those onboard raid devices are also known as fake raid, which require drivers to work, and those drivers are typically for windows. Linux usually only sees the individual drives [13:38] standard one === help is now known as Guest25351 [13:38] so when i install ubuntu, if i remove ubuntu-desktop, is it still ubuntu? [13:39] yes [13:39] !metapackage | metbsd [13:39] metbsd: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:39] and same as xubuntu iso without xfce i guess? [13:39] pianolender, again, I don't know, but that's where I'd start looking if you have time, check out the differences between lvm and mdadm [13:39] how to register?

[13:43] Dr_Willis,they're pretty common now, most new laptops (at least lenovo ones) [13:43] need a registered nick to join some channels [13:43] compdoc: in that case system files will not be on raid partition, or is it meant that they will migrate after raid setup?

[13:44] why [13:44] when you set up the software raid, one disk is copied to the other [13:44] sudokill, just dont. [13:44] pianolender, compdoc, it depends on your setup, right? you could have system on one non-raid partition and data or whatever else you want on raided partitions === lurker47 is now known as lurker47|afk [13:44] why?

[14:18] as server isnt havin none of it [14:18] bl4nd: yeah, but I'm not sure what package differences there are between the two [14:18] bl4nd: what do you want to do with this server?

[14:20] ok , im going to go with the desktop version and see how that gets on , [14:20] bl4nd, That may be why the server "is having none of it", remember I'm saying maybe; got to eliminate all of the variables to solve problems. :-) [14:20] any webmin user here, how to create sub-domain [14:20] bl4nd: so you want to be able to access the files on it from anywhere? it sounds like you need dynamic dns rather than a server version [14:21] I saw it but does it actually update or just install beside the base version?

[14:24] bl4nd: the main obstacle is knowing the IP address of your home computer, which can be solved with something like Dynamic DNS [14:24] bl4nd: don't worry what it is right now [14:24] gabriel_1980: Are you talking about that silly 'hardware drivers' GUI. It is buggy and has confusing output. Here are some CLI tools that will make things easier for you. lsmod lists all the modules currently being used. (driver is a module) you can do lsmod | grep 'nvidia' to see if the nividia driver is being used. [14:25] hi, how i can connect to my freenode account please ? [14:25] yeh thats cool Gael im jst wandering now , do i even need the server, or what ?... or jst shared fodler she can access over dns [14:25] test 123 [14:25] bl4nd: you should check out www.dyndns.org [14:25] edbian> when I try to see videos from any site they are slow [14:25] gabriel_1980: The nvidia cards give you two options for modules/drivers. nouveau and nvidia (there are a couple versions of nvidia). lspci -k will list all devices and the drivers they're currently using [14:25] thanx yeh , ; ) [14:26] gabriel_1980: Which driver are you using right now? [14:26] bl4nd: and also Winscp, which is some software you can use for doing lots of things between two computers connected via internet [14:26] gabriel_1980: Using lsmod / lspci -k don't tell me what 'hardware drivers' is saying. [14:26] bl4nd: shared folders would probably work as well [14:26] gaelfx: your an angel ;) [14:26] no prob [14:27] gabriel_1980: BTW, I see no errors in your dmesg. It indicates the nvidia module was loaded but I'm more interested in what lspci and lsmod say about it [14:27] edbian> the 173 version downloaded from Nvidia website [14:27] Howdy all [14:27] gabriel_1980: What card do you have? [14:27] edbian> I have a Geforce 5200 go [14:28] edbian> im going to pastebin the lspci [14:28] * gaelfx trying to resist using the 90's called and they want their graphics card back joke [14:29] gabriel_1980: Here is a list of all the different packages that contain nvidia drivers in the 11.04 repos. I'm not really up to date on which works for which card or the differences between all of them. Basically I suggest that you try out these different drivers, confirm that each is being used using lspci -k / lsmod and see which works best. [14:29] gabriel_1980: lspci -k please :) [14:29] edbian> here is my lspci: http://pastebin.com/rPZEvEki [14:30] i'll be back in a bit im sure, thanx for your help guys , you rock !!! \m/ [14:30] gabriel_1980: lspci -k [14:30] gabriel_1980: All I can see there is what hardware you have. You do indeed have a GeForce FX Go5200 [14:31] edbian> here is the lspci -k: http://pastebin.com/A8DHNH2m [14:31] gabriel_1980: Thanks [14:32] gabriel_1980: See under your graphics card? You are currently using nvidia. You have currently installed 'nvidia, nvidia-173, nouveau, and nvidiafb' Do you see that? [14:32] what's a good way to install ubuntu on an asus eee pc? [14:32] edbian> how can I fix that? [14:32] boghog: Make a live USB [14:32] gabriel_1980: What do you mean 'fix' ? [14:33] hmm [14:33] [boghog]: use unetbootin to make a pendrive :) [14:33] edbian> The videos when I try to see them are slow, like it has no acceleration [14:33] gabriel_1980: Try different drivers. [14:33] thanks Zonetti, edbian, going to try unetbootin [14:33] anyone know how to adjust my screen resolution? I've got 800x576 and I want to get 1024x768.

[14:34] edbian> so I should remove them [14:35] Dr_Willis. How do I find out my chipset? is it a case of using lspci? Do I get the driver from Dell directly? [14:35] gabriel_1980: The easiest way to force the system to use one driver is to have only 1 installed at a time. So yes, remove the ones you don't want to test right now.

[14:55] i want to configure everything except ip address and hostname, and have the installer prompt for that [14:55] Polah, that PPA is unsupported and frankly breaks things [14:55] tm_t,but as sidewinder1 said and as i know terminal opens in different workspace with new app??? [14:55] * Skaperen had to switch back to 10.10 from 11.04 [14:55] my current preseed works fine [14:55] is there a shell command that does nothing so I can replace it with sendmail?

[16:03] linsux - there will always be updates to install [16:03] Awolf: I just gave you instructions on how to make an Ubuntu live CD. What are you asking? (the live Cd will not affect your system) [16:03] i dind't ask for update [16:03] crap [16:03] Hey guys, what's the best peer-to-peer sofrware for Ubuntu that works like ARES? [16:04] victorhugo289: peer-to-peer for what protocol? [16:04] you can tell it to skip or if it's already installed and asking you to update, just ignore it if you don't want to update [16:04] Awolf: are you sure the BIOS update will actually fix your problem? BIOS updates aren't just something you should do w/o some precaution. [16:04] Awolf: I agree that a bios update is extreme [16:05] What can the solution be guys [16:05] They call it peer to peer right? ok, then what's the best? I don't know about the protocol! I want something like ARES!! [16:05] what's ares? is that a new-age napster? or a torrent program? [16:05] im running version 1.2 and theres a 1.7 [16:05] Awolf: well, first... before you go risking turning your machine into a useless piece of plastic w/ some electronic components, are you sure the BIOS update will fix the problem? (is it listed as a fix in the bios update?) [16:05] Definitely napster! [16:05] it's really annoying that It just logs off on its own [16:06] dforthman: It's like napster. NOT bittorrent [16:06] and I dont know how to debug it [16:06] ! [16:06] Oh. I'm not touching that one then. Google.com is your friend, sir. [16:06] I wanna download music, guys! [16:06] Awolf: It logs off or shuts down? [16:06] Well Hyperbyte told me it might be a ACPI problem and gave me a ling [16:06] Ares works gggreat! [16:06] But in Linux? [16:06] That's illegal so we can't help you [16:07] !frostwire > victorhugo289 [16:07] victorhugo289, please see my private message [16:07] Any channel for shell scripting? [16:07] If you wanted to download something legal, like linux distros, I would recommend bittorrent [16:07] !frostwire > Sygeek [16:07] SyGeek, please see my private message [16:07] the installation has been 1 hour now, still downloading [16:07] stupid installation, should let me update system === maninho is now known as Guest3233 [16:07] are the 11.04 update servers slow for anyone else? I keep timing out [16:08] linsux - There should be a "skip" button if you're installing Ubuntu and it's downloading updates. [16:08] hi, can someone assit me with regaard to my (first ever) ubuntu install please, been strugglnig litterally all day :/ [16:08] thegoodcushion: no, seems to be fine.. you might want to set your source list to the "fastest" connection for you [16:08] dforthman, it's xubuntu, there's no skip button, it's downloading language pack?? [16:09] xubuntu needs english language pack? === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [16:09] linsux: just let it finish, it shouldn't take that long if you have a reasonable fast connection [16:09] Yeah, not sure about the xubuntu install. Never installed it. But on a norman Ubuntu install, there is a skip buttong for the language packs download/updates. I'd just roll with it and let it do it's business. [16:09] i have 100kb, but don't know it's download speed [16:09] norman = normal* [16:09] KM0201: good idea. I was downloading from the US. Oops. Going like a rocket now. [16:10] I just fail at typing today. [16:10] dforthman: yeah... but he probably let them completely download, then the skip button goes away, so theyare likely all installing right now [16:10] trying to install GWT and GAE plugins for Eclipse in Ubuntu & I keep getting an error [16:11] Is there any more useful information about today's 10 DNS updates than this? http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2011-1910 [16:12] gridbag: i dunno, i just done them, seems to have worked fine.. i don't argue w/ upgrades, i just do them. [16:12] is manual partition swap type meant to take an hour and a 1/2 ? [16:12] for ubuntu 11.4 on dual boot system [16:12] JohnC: I have had ridiculous delays from the ubuntu installer [16:13] JohnC: just let it go [16:13] Hey everyone, is there a way to move the notification popup to the top some more? Because at this moment its not all the way in the right-top... [16:13] ok i hope it does eventually work because the automated install failed 3 times [16:13] john: unless you're partitioning a LOT of space, no... honestly, i never partition w/ the installer, it is very slow.. i usually partition off free space before starting an install, then start the install, and just "manually" configure the free space [16:13] much faster [16:13] Is there an official comment on a ubuntu blog/news webpage about updates? This chicken-scratch stuff is unacceptable. [16:13] why my installer sometimes tell me 5 minutes to finish, sometimes 45 minutes to finish.. without download speed.. [16:13] If I'm writing a script, how do I write to open a second terminal to run a command, and the new terminal should also stay open [16:14] gridbag: what are your concerns regarding the current update === dominique_ is now known as Guest7205 [16:14] well i had a 450 Gb partition (Empty but formtted NTFS) but i set the swap to only be 4 GB and its been chugging away for 1.5 hours now and still have to do the / partition :( [16:14] Or is it just me who has the notification popup out of place? [16:15] JohnC: somethin is wrong, if the drive was empty, that should have taken about 30sec [16:15] KM0201, what is it, why was it made, what does it fix, why do they care? === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [16:15] it's downloading at 15kb/s [16:15] gridbag: if you don't want to install it, don't [16:15] dam it so slow download speed [16:15] what should i do? Restart again by rebooting the pc ? [16:15] why doesn't it use apt-metalink [16:15] JohnC: most likely if you try rebooting to windows, you're gonna get a boot error. [16:15] KM0201, dude, the description is, "RESERVED". [16:15] hi. i try to read out temperatures via the command "sensors" ... please help me to understand the output ... there are 3 "devices" > temp1, core0, core1 ... are core0 and core1 the cores of my dual core? and what does temp1 mean? for temp1 there is also a descript > Virtual Device > acpitz-virtual-0 [16:15] I have no sound. [16:16] Does anyone know where SSL certs for irssi should be placed? [16:16] no audio. anywhere [16:16] trying to join an channel whit ssl, is it in /etc/ssl/certs ? [16:16] Anyone have experence in taming a overly sensitive trackpad? [16:16] the .key -ca.crt and .crt file should be placed? im just getting error ssl handshake failed :( [16:16] when do you think they will buy ubuntu and make it fork to enterprise ubuntu and free ubuntu desktop [16:16] JohnC: can i pm you? [16:16] yea please i am dtying here lol [16:17] when do you think they will buy ubuntu and make it fork to enterprise ubuntu and free ubuntu desktop? when this channel reach 2000 total chatters? [16:17] linsux: Who is they? [16:17] edbian, some stupid fvck, i don't know [16:17] Ok let me try it the other way: What position does your notification popup have? For example the network popup after booting... [16:17] !ot | linsux [16:17] linsux: #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! [16:17] edbian, some stupid fvck who knows nothing about *nix [16:17] linsux: Please don't swear [16:17] linsux: also stop the swearing please [16:18] ok sorry [16:18] but i think that's ubuntu's strategy ? [16:18] eventually sell ubuntu to some enterprise? [16:18] Hmm ok, no way to get contact I see. [16:19] Must be the heat outside... [16:19] linsux: this channel is not for discussing what Canonical might or might not do, you can use #ubuntu-offtopic for that. [16:19] linsux: They sell support but they say that the software will always be free [16:19] linsuxit's not theirs to sell [16:20] that's what happen to suse and redhat [16:20] linsux: suse is free and redhat has fedora [16:20] of course the linux is not theirs, it's gpl license [16:20] and centos [16:20] rehat is also free [16:20] Am I speaking in some language you don't understand...drop the offtopic please [16:20] centos is free [16:20] there is suse enterprise and rhel [16:20] IdleOne: gotcha :) [16:20] IdleOne: done [16:20] thank you. [16:21] done here [16:21] has got his LXDE + Unity2D working great :) [16:21] thank me too? [16:21] What position does your notification popup have? For example the network popup after booting... [16:21] would someone give me the command that identifies hardware, then help me read it? [16:21] Trfsrfr: install lshw-gtk [16:22] wernerdev: They're supposed to be right next to the applet that created them (the notification applet) [16:22] user [16:23] edbian [16:23] does linux have a /? that describes commands like windows does? [16:23] kapow! [16:23] edbian: Ok so the horizontal position is right. But its about 100px from the top. So there is a large gap between the top bar and the notification. [16:23] linsux, there's nothing in the GPL/BSD licences about that you can't earn money giving support [16:23] Trfsrfr: it has man pages which arefar more informative [16:23] Trfsrfr: man [16:23] Trfsrfr: man man [16:24] garane [16:24] wernerdev: That's correct. Ubuntu new notifications are beautiful aren't they? :P [16:24] Trfsrfr: some commands have /help or --help [16:24] Trfsrfr: man ls for example [16:24] Trfsrfr - It depends on the program. Usually `--help` works, but you can always read the man pages [16:24] iridium, but with gpl, no one can sell software for money. [16:24] edbian: It doesn't look right, that's why I'm asking. Does everyone have that? Or is it just me? And is there a config file to adjust it? [16:24] iridium, with bsd license, you are not prohibited to [16:24] New Linux user here too, tried Ubuntu 9, didnt enjoy, prefered the interface over 11.04, but this is user friendly-er :) [16:24] linsux y'rnot right [16:25] you can sell gpl soft for money [16:25] okay...so in terminal I would type --help after any command? [16:25] lee365: some hate it, some love it [16:25] but you must give sources to customer [16:25] Trfsrfr, http://freeengineer.org/learnUNIXin10minutes.html [16:25] linsux: for sure you can see gpl software for money [16:25] Trfsrfr: its worth a try [16:25] wernerdev: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/tweak-notifyosd-notifications-in-ubuntu.html [16:25] I dislike it. It's quite chunky, reminds me of Windows 7's lack of ability to handle vertical/side start bars lol. Still functions far better than Windows 7 in that regard. [16:26] I am indeed from a Windows background. I dual boot, used Wubi through Windows 7, surprisingly very fast after installing my ATI drivers [16:26] Hi [16:26] lee365: you can log in to gnome classic and get the old style desktop [16:26] okay, give me a min, thanks yall. [16:26] Seems Ubuntu has come along way since 3-4 years ago. :) [16:26] Trfsrfr - If you need more information about a command you can also type `man `. It's usually more information than you need, but there's almost always a syntax section [16:26] Really? How does it look? Anything like Ubuntu 9? [16:26] lee365: linux is always moving :) [16:26] I think it was either 9 or 10 I used back a few years ago. [16:26] Somebody tried a manual fix for this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-sso-client/+bug/745540?comments=all [16:27] lee365: it looks like the'normal' gnome desktop [16:27] Ubuntu bug 745540 in ubuntu-sso-client (Ubuntu) "Method "CreateItem" with signature "a{sv}(oayay)b" on interface "org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection" doesn't exist" [Medium,Triaged] [16:27] Here's a good description of DNS updates today: http://www.isc.org/software/bind/advisories/cve-2011-1910 [16:27] edbian: Found that one too, but don't want to install extra stuff. Just fix the weird position of the current notifications. Guess we'll have to wait for a fix then. [16:27] linsux, they aren't, they are selling support to their enterprise variant, and even if they did what you're telling, there's nothing wrong with it and isn't against gpl or linux spirit [16:27] Indeed it does. I prefer the interface for Kubuntu, which I tried back a few years too, but since I'm using Ubuntu now, I don't want to keep changing between different interfaces [16:27] i need linux samba [16:27] lee365: I always use LXDE. Nice and fast with no nonesense [16:27] Nexius :P downloaded that earlier, haha so fun. [16:28] chinnappan: samba is in the repos [16:28] LXDE? Ubuntu uses Gnome [16:28] chinnappan - sudo apt-get install samba [16:28] confused, so many different types lol [16:28] lm-sensors outputs an virtual device "acpitz-virtual-0" as temp1 .. does anybody know what it is? [16:28] lee365: by default, yes. You can install LXDE on ubuntu and choose it at login [16:28] Is there any software to view IP Camara / CCTV [16:28] lee365: your OS is more flexible than you think [16:29] venkat: this depends mainly on the cam used.....and the protocol it provides [16:29] trying to find the actual code of the debian-installer [16:29] in particular the code which defines the hostname [16:29] I've always known of Linux's flexibility, it'll just take some getting used to after spending 10 or so years on various Windows iterations. [16:29] any clues where I can find that code? [16:29] venkat: look into zoneminder [16:29] Of course, Windows will come first for me, since I shelled out for WIndows 7, but I like change, hence using Ubuntu through Windows on wubi :) [16:29] lee365: you'll learn with time [16:29] Maratich: But you have to produce the source code. How can you sell the software if the sourcecode is freely available? Why would anybody buy it from you? [16:30] !nl| roel- [16:30] roel-: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [16:30] okay, thats o whole ton of info, thanks all.

I'm pretty sure I checked once before, but I'll check again later. Will the inteface changes effect any functionality? Why which I mean, menu order, program functionality? etc? [16:36] necro_: there is a button in software centre to select the fastest mirror [16:36] lol [16:36] Maratich: oh, then yes. You can redistribute. So my question stands. Why would anybody try to sell open source software? [16:36] open source is free [16:36] lee365: no [16:36] E: Unable to locate package apt-fast [16:36] lee365: you will have the same apps, just using the old school desktop [16:36] necro_: its in a 3rd party ppa [16:36] oh, that's good then. :) I'll go back to Classic then, should be prettier than Unity. Anybody else using Classic? [16:36] open source does not mean free [16:36] I figured @ Action, but best to ask first, just in cases :D muha [16:37] There is free (it costs nothing) and free (you can edit / redistribute / get source code) [16:37] necro_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install apt-fast [16:37] que es apt-fast ?

[16:40] or downloaded if developers make it freeware [16:41] iridium: They sell the Red Hat Binary operating system? Why don't more people download and compile the source and not pay for a small convienience [16:41] chinnappan - http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html [16:41] edbian: Scientific Linux [16:41] and CentOS [16:41] there's no need, fedora and centos are the same, but free [16:42] but you lose any kind of support [16:42] Maratich: You're not hleping [16:42] How do I run another script, inside anoterh script? [16:42] iridium: The first sentence implies that they do not make money from support only anymore. [16:42] Lung4n - You call it from the original script. # [16:42] Lung4n: ./path/to/second/script.sh [16:43] ActionParsnip, has the apt-fast search engine ?

[16:43] edbian, Yep [16:43] I don't know why you don't see the point [16:44] Lung4n: bash does not support mult-thread (parallel) programming [16:44] Lung4n: Not that I know of anyway [16:44] edbian, Hmm okey, that was too bad. [16:44] theres a lot of "gpl'ish" paid softare [16:44] My computer lags when i drag windows, running 11.04 with nvidia 260 [16:45] edbian, Do you know anotheer way, I have 4 commands, that I wanna run each in a separate terminal, and one script is going to execute those commands in 4 diiferent terminals [16:45] iridium: How can anybody make money selling GPL'd software. Nobody would buy it because the first person has the right to re-distribute it. One person buys it and makes it freely available [16:45] fxhp: try run "glxinfo|grep render" in terminal [16:45] apt-get, apt-metalink, apt-fast, they are all slow as shit [16:45] Lung4n: Why does it matter. Just run them sequentially [16:46] okay, how do I get to pastebin? [16:46] edbian, How? [16:46] edbian, your reasoning is wrong, a lot of companies ARE PAYING a lot of money to red-hat [16:46] ebian: I'm jumping in late, but you're making a wildly inaccurate assumption by saying "nobody would buy it."

[16:52] chinnappan so you trying to share a folder in linux for windows machine [16:52] Trfsrfr - just typing 'lshw' should bring up a list of all your hardware. Did you add anything after the lshw? [16:52] chinnappan: no, i can't help you, and please don't PM users without asking first [16:53] chinnappan: sorry I can't help, i'm not very good with samba :( [16:53] dforthman, yes a -c [16:53] what's the samba question? [16:53] I'm alright with samba [16:53] chinnappan - You may want to seek advise from #Samba. [16:53] yes [16:53] jawnah: chinnappan is having trouble with samba setup [16:54] Trfsrfr - You have to add a class after -c. Example: 'lshw -c multimedia' will show your sound cards [16:54] i want give the permission on linux share folder from MS windows [16:54] here is after lspci; [16:55] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/614986/ [16:55] chinnappan, you want to be able to assign the permissions on the Windows system? [16:55] so that you can read and write to files from windows machine [16:55] &server [16:55] Trfsrfr - Why are we looking at your hardware? I think I missed your question. [16:56] Trfsrfr: lshw alone should work. [16:56] dforthman, sorry, I dont have any sound, at all. [16:56] chinnappan, please don't PM... lets discuss this in the channel.

Well, it's seeing your ATI and VIA sound devices - Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [16:57] 11.04 [16:58] chinnappan, do you need to be able to set the permissions on the share from Windows or you just want the Windows system to be able to just read/write to the share? [16:58] Not sure how to do it on 11.04, but I had to set my SoundBlaster as the hardware and select it on the "Output" tab in my sound preferences before I got the sound to work. [16:58] dforthman, I had sound working at one time, back in meerkat. but then I updated it, and it went away. [16:59] edbian, thanks.

[17:10] Can anybody tell me how to change the background color in plymouth? The current deep purple is drab and ugly to me. [17:11] chinnappan, are you trying to give explicit permission to allow access to the share without a username/password AND allow full rw to the share?

[17:11] @birdmandont did you select it in network manager? [17:12] edbian, wired [17:12] Rallias, yes [17:12] Trfsrfr: backing up a bit, why are you installing alsa? [17:12] birdmandont well... a temp solution would be sudo dhclient eth0 [17:12] hypatia: I made a wild stab in the dark and guessed he should [17:12] but thats slightly messy [17:12] edbian: like what? I don't get any errors, everything seems like it works vterm7 doesn't show any errors I know the password was correct and it just looks like it is about to start and then gets kicked back out [17:12] edbian: that's not terribly helpful [17:13] Hello [17:13] Trfsrfr: you probably don't need to install alsa. what's the actual problem? [17:13] number9: switch to tty1, kill Xorg, start xdm, switch back to tty7, try to log in, switch to tty1 and look at the errors it gives [17:13] hypatia: I know, haahah, I was guessing [17:13] where does chrome save swf and flv from youtube?

[17:14] hypatia: He didn't do anything. [17:14] Trfsrfr: do you know what type of soundcard you have? type lspci in a terminal and look for a line with sound in it; or just paste the whole output into pastebin [17:14] edbian: he or she ran your apt-get command [17:14] Rallias, says no dhcp offers recieved. [17:14] number9: I'm not sure, but if xdm doesn't start then do gdm. sudo killall Xorg [17:14] edbian: anyway, i am done grumping at you :) [17:14] hypatia: Then uninstall it, sudo apt-get remove alsa [17:14] Rallias suggestions on a plugin? [17:15] hypatia: ok :) [17:15] sorry! :P [17:15] birdmandont is the ethernet cable fully plugged in? If its not 100% plugged in all the way it may not connect [17:15] edbian: ok i'll be back in a few let me try that. [17:15] U-b-u-n-t-u you could use the command line program youtube-dl as found in synaptic [17:15] Rallias: what's the best way to install those? [17:16] Rallias thanks [17:16] lacus if you are able, go into synaptic and right click mark for reinstall [17:16] if not just double click them once you download and open with ubuntu software center.

[17:58] i don't get it. sudo ask me for the user's password? not the root's password? [17:59] <_kad> hey!! what is the command to match Keyword based on Rows === hongkongfooey is now known as costre [17:59] ubuntu-it [17:59] necro_: sudo and admin passwords are the same on ubuntu [17:59] if i'm the user. why would i not know my password. what's the point of suod [17:59] necro_: not all users get sudo permissions [17:59] only the first user, by default [17:59] necro_: the point is, if you are admin, you can use sudo. [17:59] hey [17:59] so first user is admin? [17:59] Right [18:00] when i do "service networking start" i get "networking stop/waiting" [18:00] so i should always run as 2nd user, not admin? [18:00] necro_: why? [18:00] Anyone know how to fix my top panel appearance/icons?... [18:00] PART [18:00] because i should not run system as admin? [18:00] admin has too much power to destroy system? [18:00] necro_: first user is in the admin group, you can add others and they will be able to use sudo etc, too [18:00] s3r3n1t7: "smb://localhost/", "smb://192.ip.ip.ip" and "smb://Ubuntu" all return "failed to retrieve share list from server, please select another viewer and try again" ... "smb://127.0.0.1" returns a list of shares!!! [18:01] necro_: It asks before doing anything that affects the entire system. [18:01] HelloWorld321, wait what? localhost does NOT work but 127.0.0.1 DOES work? [18:02] s3r3n1ty: so now Ubuntu can browse itself via 127.0.0.1 ... that is correct: localhost does NOT work, 127.0.0.1 DOES work [18:02] ... adding more users will make them all admin and all sudo-able with their passwords? [18:02] necro_: New users are not admin by default. [18:02] <_kad> hey!! what is the command to match specific Keyword based on Rows [18:03] <_kad> like i want the output of 2nd row only [18:03] when i do "service networking start" i get "networking stop/waiting" [18:03] so, is there root in ubuntu? [18:03] !root | necro_ [18:03] necro_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:03] HelloWorld321, i'd suggest taking a look at your ip and dns settings ... it seems those are ... a bit wrong [18:03] any help? [18:03] HelloWorld321: check the top few lines of /etc/hosts it should resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1 [18:04] !natty [18:04] Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) is the current release of Ubuntu.

[18:07] HelloWorld321: if you add the hostname to the 127.0.0.1 line too, like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost D420 [18:07] HelloWorld321: you can then use the hostname instead of localhost ;) [18:09] how do enable a second monitor? [18:09] ActionParsnip: aha things are starting to make sense, the next line is (commented out?) "::1 ubuntu localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6", and the line after that is "127.0.1.1 ubuntu.ubuntu-domain ubuntu", and smb://127.0.1.1 does NOT work [18:10] second monitor on gnome anyone? === Guest68508 is now known as Logan_ [18:13] hi [18:14] hi [18:14] im on ubuntu 10.04 TS , and i when i open "Wcid" i cant see any wifi, when i type "service networking start" i get "networking stop/waiting" [18:14] DevilSolution:Monitor Preferences === marcelo is now known as Guest73260 [18:14] I installed MS office 2007 using playonlinux but when I double click on a word file wine says there is no application configured to open it [18:15] ok, here is my question, how can I monitor a log file?

[20:30] fbdstang: Here's a good how to. it's a 4 parts article.: [20:30] fbdstang: 1 - http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/paranoid-penguin-samba-security-part-i?page=0,0 [20:30] kalisto, it took me months to compile a large ammount of files from source [20:30] Usuario_, so these are system files? application files? [20:31] fbdstang: 2 - http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/paranoid-penguin-samba-security-part-ii?page=0,0 [20:31] Kalisto, will there be anything? [20:31] kalisto, as of now I am, strangely, IN the GUI gnome GUI, downloading some updates, so my machine can be used a little bit, but every option in applications is missing, [20:31] fbdstang: 3 - http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/10292 [20:31] Send, in 11.4 the system menu is gone, and the stuff that was in the system menu is just kinda mixed in with that pile of apps you see when you hit the ubuntu button. [20:32] kalisto, no, just ubuntu and me that f*cked it up trying to migrate from hihihi100 (old user) to dexter (new user) [20:32] Hmmmmm Ok [20:32] yeah it's really user friendly. they're calling it the Needle in a Haystack API. [20:33] redgone if you have lost the private keys then there is nothing you can do, you may attempt to find them by very technical inspection of the hdd google retrieve formatted files with files (if the key has been written over with other data then 0 chance) [20:33] ok [20:33] A_B_: Awesome!! I have spent like 4 hours trying to find a howto like that. I thank you greatly for the link :) [20:33] Hi guys, I want to contribute in developing ubuntu operating system.. where should i start from? [20:33] i moved on to Gnome 3... I couldn't handle all the disorganization and kinda-sometimes-functional stuff in Unity.

[20:35] A_B_: can you easily use a windows client with the ext4 samba share? Does it have any issues?

NO i can not ping the gateway [20:37] you did " sudo choen -R dexter /home/dexter " right? [20:37] Hi,I want to contribute in developing ubuntu operating system.. where should i start from? anyone?? please guide me [20:37] Usuario_, ^ [20:37] birdmandont, try ifconfig down and then back up while watching logs [20:38] s/choen/chown [20:38] kalisto, I guess the important part is . Edit /etc/passwd (in Fedora) and change your UID & GID from 500 to 1000. You also need to edit /etc/group as well. [20:38] -or- [20:38] 2. Edit /etc/passwd (in Ubuntu) and change your UID & GID from 1000 to 500. You also need to edit /etc/group as well. [20:39] fbdstang: the directory you'll share will have to be already mounted in the system for samba to access it. so the format issue should already be resolved while mounting the drive. Samba will present the content of the share as SMB/CIFS to the client so the client won't care about the disk formatting [20:39] Usuario_, i dont want to say anything wrong since I lack the knowledge on this subject [20:39] Usuario_, but back up everything [20:39] kalisto, dexter's ID is 1001, [20:40] how do I edit /etc/group? [20:41] well, you can use a text editor... or groupmod... or groupadd... [20:41] Usuario_: with a text editor as sudo [20:41] and then there are also some GUI editors as well [20:41] A_B_: Thats exactly what I thought. I have NTFS right now and can't do permissions so I am considering reformatting to ext4 or zfs. Which do you recommend if it needs mac/windows/linux clients? [20:41] Anyone got 11.04 running on a recent Macbook Air? [20:43] fbdstang: zfs is not ready for production AFAIK so I recommend EXT4 or XFS === eris23 is now known as NetRiot [20:43] birdmandont, is there a chance when you were running the livecd it used wireless? [20:44] hi, was using 10.10, i got a trouble with hicolor-icon-theme and it affects almost every app, and when i upgrade to natty i run into the same problem i had with hicolor-icon-theme when i try to apt-get [20:44] why? [20:44] how i can repair it? [20:44] i'm trying to get an ov5642 camera to work with ubuntu. when i searched for a driver, i found this website: http://boundarydevices.com/blogs/camera-driver-example-code i went and downloaded the kernel that was mentioned in the previous blog post, but i could not successfully make it. is this the right approach? [20:44] kalisto, as soon as my machine finishes downliading some update packages im doing the last post of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=917306&highlight=sanity-check&page=4 [20:45] RA_drc_ is it usb? [20:45] ..... [20:45] fbdystang, zfs cannot be included as a "native" filesystem for linux :( It will only ever have userland support, due to some licensing issue - so I would recommend against zfs (although it's a truly amazing file system for BSDs) [20:45] any good open source RTS? [20:46] * Juest is away... [20:46] A_B_: This dude seems to like zfs on his samba shares http://www.devquotes.com/2011/03/27/how-to-build-htpc-nas-server-final-tweaking/ either way thanks for you help :) [20:46] Juest change icon theme? [20:46] well, no, i can barely use appareance properties [20:46] and change [20:46] Kalisto: yeah, i plug it in through my usb port [20:46] but i can't use gnome-session or Openbox [20:46] Juest, ok so its a matter of not seeing the screen cause its F***? [20:47] i see screen [20:47] adamkex: have you tried TA Spring? [20:47] and i can use XOrg fine [20:47] Juest ok log out and bottom of screen change to different theme [20:47] yes [20:48] what you mean with that? [20:48] RA_drc_, does it load ok in logs? [20:48] RA_drc_: nope [20:48] i use wdm, xdm and gdm [20:48] Kalisto: i'm pretty new, which logs should i check? [20:48] ZykoticK9: I understand the licensing issues but what does userland support mean? [20:48] and themes are ok, just can't run apps properly because of missing hicolor-icon-theme parts [20:49] RA_drc_, try syslog and kernel [20:49] fbdystang, zfs can be used with fuse somehow [20:49] !fuse | fbdystang [20:49] fbdystang: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [20:49] Kalisto.... [20:49] Juest log out. under user/password you can select another theme to use [20:49] fbdstang: zfs still doesn't have utilities to check and repair drives so if anything goes wrong, and usually it will, you won't be able to fix it. Also as ZykoticK9 noted above it's only supported in userland at the moemtn. that means that you'll mount it as a user which is problomatic for server configurations. [20:49] I've mounted to a samba share using "connect to server" with Nautilus but what I would really like to do is "cd" to that location and run a command from the terminal. Is it possible to do something like "cd smb://myfiles;sudo dpkg -i *.deb"? [20:50] Kalisto: that works [20:50] fbdstang: also zfs benefits you when you have multiple disks and configured in RAID over LVM..... [20:50] RA_drc_, maybe it already works, do you have vlc installed? [20:50] just applications and session managers that can't run properly or don't run because of hicolor-icon-theme parts/icon [20:51] fbdstang: when zfs is ready for production it will be awesome but it's not yet. [20:51] Juest, with another theme you have the same problems? [20:51] A_B_, oh zfs is ready for production - it will just never be on linux :( [20:51] Gents: Stuck on 9.04, how can I incrementally upgrade to 9.10 (Server not desktop) so that I can get out of EOL versions? [20:51] Kalisto: i don't have vlc installed, but i tried going to chat roulette and the ov5642 camera didn't show up as an option. [20:51] nothing, just applications can't run properly or they don't run [20:52] it has nothing to do with themes, but is related to icons and applications [20:52] ahhh, ok yea now i get it. So how do they use it on servers. Oh i guess its becuase they run on solaris servers [20:52] fbdystang, zfs is supported on both solaris and the BSDs [20:52] Kalisto: pm me, i will be away, this channel is too noisey [20:52] RA_drc_, yea thats cause linux will not allow you to have even less of a life by going there. but in the meantime install vlc, then click on Media-OPen Capture device and under capture mode see if your camera is there [20:53] ZykoticK9: I though the check and repair tools for zfs are still missing [20:53] Well, apparantly I am running 3d on my intel card but compiz doesn't like that it doesn't have a feature it needs. So I am stuck with unity 2d. Anyone know how to disable the launcher? It just gets in my way. I don't want it to ever load. [20:54] A_B_, the way ZFS is organized, I doubt either are really required - you could just roll-back an error (i imagine) [20:54] iptables port forwarding help needed. Please review and let me know why my 8080 port is not forwarded http://paste.ubuntu.com/615066/ [20:54] A_B_, I only used ZFS for a short time on OpenSolaris - it was very cool (kinda like Windows System Restore actually) [20:55] tdb30_, yes this is a common problem with older graphics cards that are no longer fully supported, best is to stay away from unit and compiz, so log out, then bottom of login screen select the classic ubuntu and log back in [20:55] HELP, I, as dexter, tried to access my home folder (/home/dexter), but it says that I dont have the permissions to do so, why? [20:55] tdb30_, having done that check Compiz themes are fully turned off. == much faster pc [20:55] OK that make the choice easy. I will use ext4 and get posix permissions for now until zfs is not userland. Thanks for all the help guys, this channel rocks and always helps me solve my issues :) [20:55] is there a better way to connect to a ubuntu computer remotely from windows 7 than vnc?

[20:57] Usuario_: sudo chown yourusername:yourgroup /place/to/own [20:58] RA_drc_, yes those but if you go to System->Adminis->log file viewer its easier (top bar) [20:58] toasty: as long as you set teamviewer to run on startup, and set a "constant password", teamviewer would still work [20:58] it is syntax to giv dexter permissions [20:58] hmm NX [20:58] !info nx [20:58] !nx | toasty [20:58] Package nx does not exist in natty [20:58] toasty: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology.

[21:03] date [21:03] oops [21:03] RA_drc_, whats the camera model again?

[21:49] Sterist: 11.04 is not LTS, and as such, will not have point releases. [21:50] flannel silly me. thanks a bunch [21:50] I tried that. [21:50] Sterist: You could consider 11.10 to be the point release for 11.04 :) [21:50] does 10.04 update to firefox 4 or do i have to install new packet sources? [21:50] Guest99203: What does it say? [21:50] flannel indeed lol do you know what the focus of 11.10 is? [21:50] Keeps going back to Guest99203. (It's been a long, long while since I used chat). [21:51] When i use the /nick nothing happens. [21:51] Guest99203: Maybe you have to register on freenode. I don't know === Guest99203 is now known as DenverDave [21:51] Ah [21:51] well there ya go [21:51] DenverDave: Much better [21:51] Ten bucks says DenverDave is from Denver and is named Dave. [21:52] any takers? [21:52] Doesn't like spaces.. No problem.. I'll be back in a few. [21:52] Sterist: Not off the top of my head, no. [21:52] Oh, and to use this paste bin thingy.... [21:52] denver must be a great city. my grandma used to watch dynasty on tv === Indestructible is now known as akshay2000 [21:52] Sterist: I don't think there's any major changes, just continuing down the same path as 11.04 (I do know that there's no classic gnome option) [21:52] !pastebin | DenverDave [21:52] DenverDave: 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. [21:53] DenverDave: Yeah. You just paste it, click submit, then give me the link. [21:53] Hello. I'm runnig Kubuntu 11.04. A test at Shields Up showed that port 80 is open for incoming connections. It seems that it should be closed by default. How can I close it? [21:53] Guest61029: bcm43xx [21:53] I'm not sure [21:53] downloading the kernel now... [21:53] Cool... Chat has really come far since VAX VMS days... LOL [21:53] nincompooop: You mean the kernel source? What can you tell from that? [21:53] DenverDave: yes [21:54] george__: how about using firewall block? [21:54] edbian: I can see the actual drivers XD [21:54] nincompooop: How? [21:54] edbian: and I (might) be able to recompile my kernel [21:54] akshay2000: You mean ufw? [21:54] flannel yeah i use xubuntu so i'm not too concerned about that but it that is a big mistake on canonical's part [21:55] george__: as long as you don't have a webserver or other services running on port 80, it doesn't matter at all [21:55] why would I do that? I don't know. [21:55] ultrixx: How can I check what services are running there? [21:55] edbian: make xconfig and then by searching bcm4309 [21:55] nincompooop: How do you 'look at the kernel' and how does that tell you what driver should be used. [21:55] hi [21:55] george__: I second what ultrixx said. [21:55] I need help erasing a partition [21:55] nincompooop: Make xconfig ? [21:56] hi [21:56] edbian: that's how I managed to find out how to NFS root the thing XD [21:56] particularly erasing and then reinstalling Ubuntu 10.04 back onto the machine, it dual boots at the moment with Win7 and Ubu LTS. [21:56] dsouz401: Hello. [21:56] george__: what happens if you type "localhost" into your webbrowser? [21:56] nincompooop: 'NFS root the thing.' What are you talking about? === aarcane_ is now known as aarcane [21:56] hey dsouz401 [21:57] holla [21:57] toad`: that or reinstalling GRUB or GRUB 2 [21:57] edbian: network booting [21:57] nincompooop: what?! You don't make any sense. [21:57] um [21:57] GRUB [21:57] I guess whatever I'm using now [21:57] its working great like [21:58] toad`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:58] edbian: 0.o... network booting... eg: using another computer to provide services to boot said computer off the network [21:58] toad`: condense messages please... the floodbots don't like multiple lines [21:58] nincompooop: I know what the words 'network booting' mean. What does that have to do with anything? [21:58] toad: you don't want to anger the mighty floodbots [21:59] edbian: NFS root in the kernel... [21:59] blz: nice. [21:59] well should I just boot from livecd [21:59] and then reinstall? [21:59] is it that easy? [21:59] toad`: mmhm [21:59] sudokill was helping me before I think but that was a while ago [21:59] toad`, don't anger the floodbots. srsly. [21:59] heh ok [21:59] nincompooop: Network File System root the kernel. That is gibberish. And how does that help me understand what driver one should use for a bcm4309 ?! [22:00] ultrixx: It displays an error message on rekonq. Connection refused, as if it wasn't able to connect to the internet or wrong address. [22:00] edbian: iono... it's a example of what one can do while looking things up with xconfig [22:00] Hi... I accidentally deleted my .local directory. Seems like ubuntu just recreated it all upon reboot. Are those "." directories simply re-creatable if they are removed? [22:00] george__: so you obviously don't run a webserver on your port 80 [22:00] nincompooop: What package is xconfig in [22:00] xexit [22:00] manlymat183: yes [22:00] Ex-chat [22:01] malymat183: .directory means it's hidden. some apps will re-create the directory if it's missing. what were you trying to do? [22:01] Ex-Chat [22:01] manlymat183: They are settings stored by programs. For example firefox bookmarks are stored in .mozilla somewhere [22:01] edbian: Yeah, I noticed that. But .local seemed really important. [22:01] blz: Remove a different directory but fiddle fingered [22:01] ultrixx: so.... that means there is nothing to worry about? [22:01] manlymat183: perhaps. [22:01] dsouz401: what are you trying? [22:01] george__: ubuntu comes with turned off firewall because there are no services running in default install [22:01] Its logout [22:01] manlymat183: use the terminal next time ;-) [22:02] george__: yes [22:02] blz: I was :) [22:02] had used ctrl-r and was editing a previous command [22:02] manlymat183: ouch! In any case, it should be recoverable in a .trash folder if i'm not mistaken [22:02] @george__ : Exactly why are youworried? [22:02] b [22:02] ultrixx: I see... thanks. [22:03] george__: you are welcome [22:03] My laptop locked the screen and turned off the monitor (after I afked) and now when I move the mouse, nothing appears. Is there a way to fix this without restarting? [22:03] jmknsd: well, did it go to standby? [22:03] Based on /etc/skel, it looks like almost all of the . directories are created on first login. I just didn't know if a single directory missing would mess things up. [22:03] akshay2000: computer hijacking :) [22:03] nincompooop, no [22:03] I can still access the VTs [22:03] jmknsd: alright, try pressing some buttons on the keyboar [22:03] d [22:04] edbian: Thanks [22:04] manlymat183: mine seems to have cache items and zeitgeist logs... doesn't seem like it's anything that will sorely be missed [22:04] did that, still nothing [22:04] manlymat183: sure [22:04] DMesg found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/615085/ [22:04] manlymat183: but you can always restore from a .trash file [22:04] jmknsd: hmm...

[22:05] It's a new laptop =( [22:05] jmknsd: yeah, I guess restart's your best option then... [22:05] jmknsd: try ctrl+alt+f2 [22:05] blz: cool, thakns [22:05] DenverDave: This is very good news. I see some info about your card. [22:05] jmknsd: or that... [22:05] might work... [22:05] It does [22:05] Probably better than I found out for you. Eh?

[22:53] hello, I use ubuntu 11.04, I have trouble with empathy, it got uninstalled and is not get installed, can anybody help me [22:53] OK cheers - now ignored :) [22:53] http://pthree.org/2010/01/31/freenode-ssl-and-sasl-authentication-with-irssi/ [22:54] Is there someone that can help me with my first installation alongside Windows 7 please? [22:54] MattyLad: what is problem? [22:54] MattyLad, What installation advice do you need exactly ? As in partitioning ? [22:55] CAN an yone help me with bind9 ??? [22:55] andreb: what's the question? [22:55] MattyLad, If you try the installed you'll find it intuitive and easy to follow. === bc_ is now known as bc [22:55] sort of - I have a 500b drive on my laptop, partitioned to c-system/e:empty where I want linux and F: all my files. [22:56] BC : i have followed this http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx-ispconfig-2-p4 to install bind in chroot [22:56] marchdown: lsof -i :80 # will give you what's open on 80. You could also try: sudo netstat -plant | grep :80 [22:56] BC: but i am getting a permission error when i try to start bind [22:56] Where do I tell the upgrade manager not to touch my windows partition? [22:56] I want to install ubuntu on E: (SDA3) but when I'm going through the install I get to a slider that has SDA3(files) and SDA4 (ubuntu) - is this making SDA3 into 2 drives? [22:57] thanks, ryanakca, you're most helpful. [22:57] IS there a reason why configuring a network inferface through /etc/network/interfaces no longer works on natty? (i.e. it worked with maverick, no longer works after a dist-upgrade) [22:57] MattyLad, Copy the sizes of your partitions, when it comes to the installer you might find it helpful. [22:57] change Alt+F2 shortcut to the Right Windows key? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1770970 Please take a look and see if you can help me? Thanks [22:58] How? I can tell using the live CD that the drive I want to install on is SDA3, SDA4 is my file store. so when it comes to the install how do I tel it just to install itself on SDA3 ? [22:58] andreb: chances are goog apparmor is refusing read/write to that chroot location. Check /var/log/messages for apparmor errors [22:59] bc : k [22:59] hi, i have bash scripting difficulties [22:59] bc : I dont have apparmor installed [23:00] andreb: `dpkg -l apparmor' shows nothing? [23:00] i want to start synergyc when a network interface comes up [23:00] bc : exact error http://pastebin.ca/2072496 [23:00] MattyLad: I think you should do manual partitioning. This will let you not modify sda3 and remove sda4 and so on if you need to remove them. [23:00] it's working quite well, only does synergy not connect to my server [23:00] I am about to install a .deb of a commercial application. Being a commercial application, I don't entirely trust it, so I'd like to be able to monitor all changes to the file system during the install process. What is a quick and easy way to do that? [23:00] andreb: that's apparmor [23:00] Actually, I tried lsof befor asking, but didn't realize that it has to be installed first. I thought that it's provided by default if at all available. [23:01] OK cheers - is there a chat program in the live cd that I can use while installing? [23:01] to cut it down to one question, how can i set the enviroment of the script to my normal bash enviroment? [23:01] MattyLad, Choose the option that allows you manual configuration. And select the appropriate partition. Again, it would be very helpful if you know the sizes, used/free space of your partitions. [23:01] MattyLad: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/22/how-to-dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-11-04/ ther s tutorial with pictures [23:01] andreb: denied read on /var/lib/named/etc/bind/named.conf by named [23:01] hrm [23:01] MattyLad: yes there is [23:01] So I was told to "tell" ubuntu's upgrade manager not to delete my windows partition and I was wondering how i go about that since this upgrade thing seems like its doing everything on its own.. [23:01] Pictures! cheers - I like help with pictures :rofl: [23:01] bc: http://pastebin.ca/2072503 [23:01] MattyLad: I think so. I do not know what is the Ubuntu current chat program. Probably someone related with instant messaging. [23:02] andreb: edit /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named [23:02] How is it possible to have *three* processes on the same port? === hacked_ is now known as hacked [23:02] bc: can i uninstall apparmor ? [23:02] Ok I'll go read that - looks just the ticket - thank you folks. [23:02] adrian15: i guess it is emapthy [23:02] pmitros: inotifywait [23:03] christen: Who has told you that an ubuntu upgrade deleted windows partition? What reason did he give you ? [23:03] Any easy way to place a script onto the dock or the panel? [23:03] drag and drop [23:03] andreb: I'm not sure; probably. Does /etc/init.d/apparmor still exist? [23:03] * pmitros mans inotifywait [23:03] Hi ! How do I resolve package dependencies in installing 'Q4Wine' ? Screenshot here : http://imageshack.us/f/834/screenshotvhn.png/ [23:04] MattyLad: Be careful about manual partitioning. And the client is probably empathy as Ddpbf says. [23:04] no, I was just wondering if it would take out that partition. People told me no, not if I told it not to. So i was wondering where I would go to make sure that didn't happen. [23:04] bc : nope it does not [23:04] christen: I assume you are upgrading from inside your installed Ubuntu system ? [23:04] OK, would it be better to install on a middle partition or the last partition? [23:04] yes, I am [23:05] all partitions are on the same physical drive [23:05] from update manager [23:05] christen: Do not bother about windows partition then. [23:05] inotifywait seems pretty close, but it appears to not be really suitable for whole filesysytem monitoring. [23:05] So it won't affect it in anyway? [23:05] MattyLad, imo, not much of a difference. You might want to have a separate home partition though. [23:06] whats that? [23:06] MattyLad: when you boot live cd [23:06] Russ: doesn't work, thinks it's a text file [23:06] christen: The worst thing it can happen is that grub configuration is not updated ok and that you cannot access windows. But windows data will not be modified at all. [23:06] type sudo fdisk -lu [23:06] andreb: you may have to reboot. have you rebooted since it was removed? [23:06] how do I find the timezone that my server is using? this is just a shared host, i only have ssh [23:06] in terminal and paste output [23:06] andreb: the simplest way at least [23:06] Just upgraded to 11.04 and now PC boots only to command prompt :( [23:06] by "cannot access windows" do you mean that I can enter that OS when I reboot? [23:06] how can i set the shell enviroment in a script to be the same as in my gnome-terminal? [23:07] Thats bad.. [23:07] abstrakt: I think the command is tzdata. [23:07] bc : nope not yet [23:07] bc : rebooting now [23:07] can't* [23:07] bc :be back ina sec [23:07] hey guys, how come brasero sucks so bad? I've tried to give it a chance but it just flat out blows and is not good enough to be in Ubuntu. [23:07] How can I add "Guest Session" as an option when my screen is locked, so that other people can use my computer when I'm afk? [23:07] k3ks: #!/path/to/shell as the first line. [23:07] squireboy: log in and try sudo service gdm start [23:08] Shoot. Laptop battery almost dead. [23:08] Ddpbf> Will do [23:08] MattyLad, Your 'home' partition is like 'Libraries' rolled into one and you could think of '/' or 'root' partition as the 'Program Files' folder you have in Win. [23:08] adrian15, but if the the script is run from networkmanager dispatcher all the enviroment variables don't seem to be set [23:09] OK brb from inside the lice cd (hopefully) [23:09] MattyLad, Remember to create a swap partition as well. [23:10] What if I have 4 gigs of memory. How large should my swap partition be then? [23:10] Do I have to make all these? does it not just do it itself? [23:10] k3ks: That's the way on which script is run from network-manager. [23:11] KaiDOg: 2 giga ll do the job [23:11] KaiDOg: Do you hibernate? [23:11] MattyLad, It does, if you allow it to, that is the guided install. [23:11] 2 gigs?? But my hard drive is only 2 terabytes!!! [23:11] bc : ia ma back [23:11] adrian15, and is there a way to pretend the script logs in as me? [23:11] ok brb [23:11] andreb: bind9 working? [23:11] Ddpbf> "Checking battery state..." LOL [23:11] k3ks: What variable values do you need exactly? I ask myself if using bash -k /path/to/script or a similar command should work ? [23:11] How do I resolve package dependencies in installing 'Q4Wine' ? Screenshot here : http://imageshack.us/f/834/screenshotvhn.png/ [23:12] jenk is queer 4 wine lol [23:12] bc: nope [23:12] bc: it fails [23:12] squireboy: what GPU? [23:12] andreb: same problem? [23:12] does anyone know how to install ubuntu on a laptop with a dead gpu? [23:12] k3ks: So... the network-manager is running as root? You are talking about network manager applet ? Then something like: su - user -c command should work. I do not remember the exact syntax. [23:12] Ddpbf> AMD [23:13] bc : interesting different error [23:13] KaiDOg, You could say I'm desperate considering that my pleas for help have gone unanswered until now.... Can you help ? [23:13] mattk: What do you mean? Don't you see the screen ? [23:13] adrian15, i don't really know but i have a hard time to set the PATH and debugging the script and it makes me go crazy [23:13] bc : : /etc/bind/named.conf:11: expected quoted string near 'include [23:13] Ddpbf> Oh GPU, not CPU [23:13] jenk - haha, sorry I like to kid around. I'm not sure what "unresolved dependencies" mean but I can check [23:13] i just want it to work like i was executing it [23:13] Ddpbf> GPU? [23:13] because then it works [23:13] yes [23:13] The gpu is dead. I can remote into xp. The laptop is fine other than the fried graphics card [23:13] andreb: pastebin that area? [23:13] the screen is black [23:13] k3ks: What is the first line of the script ? [23:14] can't hook up an external monitor [23:14] squireboy: is that NVIDA? [23:14] KaiDOg, Have a look at the screenshot ! [23:14] andreb: good news is that isn't apparmor anymore. prob just syntax error. [23:14] bc : fixed it.. now bind stgarts... time to edit my conf file.... [23:14] #!/bin/bash [23:14] Ddpbf> Oh, yes, I have an nvidia GeoForce 55FX [23:14] bc : thanks [23:14] KaiDOg, Screenshot here : http://imageshack.us/f/834/screenshotvhn.png/ [23:14] hi [23:14] ! hi [23:14] bc: let me see if i can edit this right now [23:14] andreb: great, no problem [23:14] mattk: It could be possible with a network installation. A prepared one with a default password. I am not aware of such live cds though. [23:14] Ddpbf> or 5500 FX - something like that [23:15] squireboy: it could be dkms issue [23:15] !hi [23:15] change Alt+F2 shortcut to the Right Windows key? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1770970 Please take a look and see if you can help me? Thanks [23:15] andreb: later, you might want apparmor again. instead of that old guide, try this one instead -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto [23:15] Ddpbf> We'll figure it out. [23:15] I can access xp only because I had remote desktop on. I still want to use the computer as a server [23:15] Im having problems with dpkg, its hard for me to explain, so I need to talk with someone in PM where I can paste Terminal logs. Anyone willing to help? [23:16] jenk - Have you tried installing it via apt-get? [23:16] Ddpbf> Rebooted and it is scanning drives. HMMM. One drive not ready and "Plymouth" failed [23:16] Ddpbf> Logging in as you suggested now [23:16] bc : thanks [23:16] what does : ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) Failed no such file or directory" [23:17] Anyone else know what an unresolved dependency is? [23:17] i am trying to mount an ipod-like device but i am getting an error msg [23:17] can someone help me mount it? [23:17] KaiDOg: some package depends on another package in order to be installed [23:17] Ddpbf> "Job is already running: gdm" Now what? [23:17] i did sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdd1 [23:17] can I install ubuntu from Windows and then ssh into the machine? [23:17] KaiDOg, Yes. It gives the same error message, albeit in a terminal window. [23:17] squireboy: wich drivers you hav used on maverick? [23:17] mattk: Try to get in touch with blind people. Or the people that do automated installed. Maybe the FAI ones. [23:18] and it gave me lots of information but i dont know what it means [23:18] yassine_hell_: what ever you ran, use strace to find out what it's trying to open [23:18] mattk: Humm.. Yes... wubi... that could be an easy workaround [23:18] thanks bc [23:18] Ddpbf> I was on Lucid. No issues. Upgraded to Marverick and then N [23:18] bc : im trying to run airodump-ng mon0 [23:18] jenk - it sounds like you just need to install those dependencies. Have you checked the installation instructions? [23:18] Ddpbf> This is above my head [23:18] wubi will work for that? I though wubi was just for installing ubuntu on top of XP. I really don't want xp if the GPU isn't working [23:19] I just need to turn on the machine and ssh or remote into it [23:19] squireboy: have yoou installed drivers from adtional drivers [23:19] or you left default ones? [23:19] Ddpbf> Nope [23:19] yassine_hell_: sudo strace airodump-ng mon0 [23:19] aha [23:20] Ddpbf> I went with default of the upgrade. You think it zapped my NVIDIA driver? [23:20] KaiDOg, Yes. I've tried googling for it. Usually, it'll ask to install the unmet dependencies. Here, it doesn't. Can you translate that error message for me ? Like into layman's language ? [23:20] bc : i have problem with this wifi , when i open the "Wcid" i cant see any wifi, but when i search in Windows, i get many wifis, and on ubuntu 8.10 i can connect, but i installed ubuntu 10.04 ... the wifi adaptater didnt work [23:20] squireboy: there are some issues with nvidia cards [23:21] Ddpbf> At command line awaiting your sage counsel. [23:21] yassine_hell_: I'm not too well versed in wireless problems [23:21] do you have live cd [23:21] Ddpbf> Such is Ubuntu. Whaty next? [23:21] by some chance? [23:21] bc : :/ aw ok... [23:21] Ddpbf> Old one. Not N [23:21] yassine_hell_: sounds vaguely familiar, but I'd just waste your time probably, sorry [23:22] mattk: Hummm.... Wubi will let you install ubuntu. [23:22] bc ... ok [23:22] Ddpbf> Upgraded via System\Upgrade Manager [23:22] squireboy: i ll look litle a bet trough net [23:22] No way to format the drive, start from scratch and install ubuntu remotely? [23:22] Ddpbf> How do we know what the issue is? 100% Nvida? [23:22] Im having problems with dpkg, its hard for me to explain, so I need to talk with someone in PM where I can paste Terminal logs. Anyone willing to help? [23:23] mattk: You will be able to define ubuntu as the default boot entry manually in boot.ini (or w7 equivalent). And finally you will need to make sure in the installation that network and openssh server are well installed. [23:23] i am trying to mount a usb device. it gives me an error msg - error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock [23:23] anonboots: you can use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ to paste logs [23:23] I have ubuntu installed on it already [23:23] i did fdisk -l [23:23] squireboy: i am noth sure [23:24] but i dont know what that means [23:24] but reboot [23:24] mattk: There should be a way to format the drive, start from scratch and install ubuntu remotely. Yes. You should ask either to Fully Automatic Installer people or to blind people. I do not know any easy live cd that has this builtin feature myself. [23:24] and try nomodeset [23:24] Ddpbf> HMM. Not sure where to begin to even trouble shoot this one [23:24] Ddpbf> I did reboot [23:24] in grub menu [23:25] adrian15: thanks for the help.

[23:29] way too many issues with 11.10 atm for me [23:30] Jordan_U: that's how I solved that error message [23:30] MonkeyDust: i did. Several times. I go around in circles. Eventually it attempts to reinstall the Chromium package that is causing all of this. [23:30] Jordan_U> Man, I'm stuck. Just upgraded to 11.04 and pc boots to command line only [23:30] MonkeyDust: Then the package crashes when its trying to install [23:30] id like to mount this usb drive but it wont automount. i get an error message wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/ssd1. i tried fdisk -l /dev/ssd1 but i dont know how to interpret the information, or where to go from there. help? [23:30] anonboots: have you tried booting in recovery mode / repair? [23:30] MonkeyDust: Then I am back at square 1.

[23:31] i tried in several ways using the network manager included in the distro, but no matter the configuration i choose, the VPN connection fails [23:32] anonboots: ultimatley, you can backup your data and reinstall [23:32] adrian15: I don't think so. I don't know how to gain access to it [23:32] !aptlock | anonboots MonkeyDust [23:32] anonboots MonkeyDust: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [23:32] I am sure about the basic parameters: gateway, username, password and domainname are correct [23:33] anonboots: have you tried what Jordan_U suggests? [23:33] but as i have to connect to a ms vpn server, perhaps there are other advanced parameters i have to get configured right, but i do not know them [23:33] I just tried what Jordan_U says. MonekyDust. I get: "dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [23:33] " [23:33] I tried the ubuntu 10.04 LTS live cd, and my network worked just fine, After I installed it, i get no network connection :( any ideas? wired connection, ive tried selecting in network manager, and running sudo dhclient eth0 (which shows a bunch of offers and requests, but nothing connects) [23:34] anonboots: what's the outcome of ps -e|grep dpkg?

[23:46] if i'm not mistaking [23:46] MonkeyDust: Thanks a lot ;) [23:47] kingofswords: clarify please [23:47] adda: what happens when you turn on your computer? [23:47] i read in the docs, and installing it, i get the grub menu with ubuntu and ubuntu recovery mode, but when i click to enter, i get blank screen [23:48] Githzerai> Said it was not installed but REMOVED a whole bunch of stuff [23:48] nerdshell, sorry...i have folder with 1380files, i want to search for files with certain words in the filename [23:48] squireboy: sudo lsmod |grep nvidia [23:48] Githzerai> Well, asking. Say "Y"es? [23:48] Y [23:48] adda: do you get *anything* from ubuntu at any point on your screen after selecting ubuntu or is it safe to say that grub is not pointing correctly to your ubuntu boot partition? [23:49] in windwos you normally go file>find or edit>find...is that in ubuntu? [23:49] I hope you can help me with this. I have a dell. I can see 6 usb's on the back and 2 on the front of the computer. When I do lsusb I see 8 listings, when I unplug two things I see 2 less. Mystery. I got a hub (just now!) and I want to make certain that I plug it into the ONE that is listed as USB 2.0 and not all the others which are USB 1.1 -- Undersatnd? ... Thanks. [23:49] Githzerai> removing a lot of "K" stuff [23:49] kingofswords: ls -a | grep "the pattern of the name" [23:49] * soyo [23:49] PoTe: yes, the "Ubuntu" logo in the center and the 4 dots then screen going black [23:49] kingofswords: Places > Search [23:50] squireboy: let it finish, then reboot [23:50] Githzerai> now run the lsmod |grep nvidia? [23:50] ok [23:50] Need some help, getting a kernel panic message when loading 11.04 from cd [23:50] Githzerai> ok [23:50] nerdshell, ah yeh im using the search tool.but wondered if it could be done in the folder kinda thing [23:50] thx === joel is now known as Guest66636 [23:50] kingofswords I that's in the terminal (command line interface, like the old dos) AND that only searches in the directory that you are in. Just so you know. (I'm still learning about this one so I'm telling you from "a little knowledge". Heh) [23:50] Githzerai> lots of trigger processing happening LOL [23:51] Githzerai> here goes reboot [23:51] kingofswords: I don't realy get it. You mean, you don't want a Console solution ? [23:51] adda: ok, so it looks like it's pointing to the correct place. What happens after loading? Does it abort and turn off the computer? Does it do anything? Have you tried pressing alt + f1-10 keys to go to the alternate ttys? that way you should be able to see what is going on behind the scenes while ubuntu is loading [23:51] kingofswords, if you want to search the subdirectories too you have to add something else after the - but "I dont know what" [23:51] adda: that might give us a clue:) [23:51] hola [23:51] nerdshell, yeh sorry kinda hard 4 me to explain [23:52] tripelb, yeh im newbie too [23:52] I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, can someone tell me what the best dvd burning software there is for Linux please? [23:52] kingofswords, I can help you with the console. I can tell you how to do it in the GI too. Are you using GNOME? [23:52] yeh [23:52] kingofswords: recursive search of all subdirectories is done with -R [23:52] kingofswords: you are in a folder, and you want to search for files with specific blocs of letters in their names, right ? [23:52] Em0ry, ubuntu comes with it's own. [23:52] !best| Em0ry [23:52] Em0ry: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:52] Githzerai> Ok. Back. Plymouyh still failing [23:52] squireboy: no GUI ? [23:52] !dvd [23:52] 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] Is there a simple way to invoke tc upon the connection of a ppp device? [23:52] PoTe: i was trying with alt+f1-10 to enter the terminals, but i cant, screen is just blank, and only one i can do is ctrl+alt+del that reboot system, may be some wrong with plymouth [23:53] hi, am I correct that there's no fsck tool for btrfs and so it shouldn't be used outside of test environments? [23:53] Githzerai> nope [23:53] because i was try to make dual boot with super boot manager that i have read in omgubuntu site [23:53] nerdshell, im have the folder open..it has 1380 files in there and i wanted to search by filename but not first word in filename [23:53] kingogswords: ls -R | grep 'pattern' [23:53] Oh ok thanks, sorry, didn't mean to break the rule [23:53] anyone know about a kernel panic message when trying to load Ubuntu 11.04? [23:53] Em0ry, ubuntu comes with it's own. [and there's a no asking for best int he channel] if you go into applications, then sound and video then Brasero you have a great Burning Program. Guaranteed to work with Ubuntu. [23:53] nerdshell, oh yeh what you just said [23:53] squireboy: ther must be some residual config file that was left after removing nvidia driver [23:53] * Khisanth has a Search for Files option under Places [23:53] ok, i'll try that tripelb, thanks alot [23:53] but this is an old release [23:53] bobbyd: Yes. [23:54] its ok ive done it now by using the search thing [23:54] kingofswords: It's quit simple with the console , but I don't have any idea of how to do it with a GUI [23:54] I have a new thinkpad t520 with a new lucid 10.4 LTS install. Resume-from-suspend does not work properly. The screen stays dark. Other happy lights come on, and I suspect that it's resuming the OS & etc, but I can't get the screen to come on. I have to hold down the power button for 4 seconds and reboot it. [23:54] squireboy: sudo lspci -knn |grep VGA [23:54] ok thx [23:54] squireboy: please use pastebin for output [23:54] kingofswords, if I can help you any more, use my username because then I will see it. This is a fast channel. [23:54] adda: that's odd, have you tried with the recovery option? is this a fresh install? did you run any major updates? [23:55] tripelb, ok thx [23:55] githogori> same as before [23:55] kingofswords, I can tell you how to do it with the gui IF you tell me what version of Ubuntu you have. [23:55] tripelb, 10.04lts gnome [23:55] PoTe: fresh install with last updates, recovery mode show me the boot messages then goint to blank screen [23:55] tripelb: I'd like to know how to do it with the gui, I'm on Natty (11.04) [23:56] githogori> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corp.

[23:56] another question, seems i need to read the rules of chat here. Can someone tell me where i can find that? Thank you. [23:56] Githzerai> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corp. NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] [10de:0326] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [23:56] Em0ry: Read the channel topic [23:56] adda: what I would *always* recommend in fresh installs is to FIRST install windows and then ubuntu, since windows rewrites the master boot record [23:56] Githzerai> Oh, sorry. okay. On two different computers [23:56] Em0ry: http://goo.gl/cEF1w [23:57] wow, total noob here. Thanks guys! [23:57] adda: If things go downhill you can always try that, reinstalling both OSs in the correct order :) [23:57] kingofswords, OK let me do it anyway, I'm waiting for help on my USB SLOTS QUESTION. OK great on the gnome. That's a yes. --1. do you know how to open a file browser window. ... nerdshell this is gnome. never used unity ... king.. the file browser window is what you get when you click on something in "places". The experts call it Nautilus but that word only exists in the "about" menu so forget it. [23:57] PoTe: is there way to make windows apearing in the boot menu? [23:58] i am from livecd now [23:58] squireboy: sorry, needed a few more lines. please, sudo lspci -vnn |grep -A 10 VGA [23:58] Yes, but it actually should have been configured automatically [23:58] tripelb, yeh have the folder open....its my dl folder [23:58] you will need to map it manually, probably, by booting from a live cd [23:58] kingofswords, once you are looking at the directory you want -->just like Windows, press control-F ((surprise nothing tells you to do that either)). then type in the pattern you want. If that doesnt work try *pattern* -- try it and tell me how it works [23:58] adda: Yes, but it actually should have been configured automatically [23:58] adda: you will need to map it manually, probably, by booting from a live cd [23:59] tripelb: nautilius is also the name of the process, it may be useful to know it's name :p [23:59] adda: there's an utility for that, I believe, you will need to google the steps to follow.
