[00:00] very funny [00:00] I am running this out of VirtualBox if that matters any [00:02] What does this measure to ?[Linux 0 1 1 96051 197 17 1543071680] [00:07] This test disk isnt very descriptive, I realize these numbers seperated in sequence mean things about my harddrive, Im not too savvy, but if i can google if i just... have a legend. [00:07] whats the prefered way to install mongodb, i am having trouble with apt-get install mongodb [00:07] fission6, download it from the website and put it in your documents. Then add an export to add all of the files in mongodb/bin to your path [00:08] sudo apt-get install mongodb no good? [00:08] fission6, never worked for me [00:08] yea nor for me [00:08] cant be found [00:08] never had issues with my way to install though [00:09] just sort of weird no? [00:09] i am downloading to Workspace and will untar and add to path i guess [00:10] http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packages [00:10] my google fu is supurb [00:12] lets see if this works, thanks dforthman [00:12] The_Explorer: Look at the little disc utility thingy. It is extremely informatve [00:13] Disk utility? [00:13] The_Explorer: using unity? [00:14] The_Explorer: palimpsest is the command for it. It's very handy and informative about your harddrives. It is graphical though. [00:15] If I have two NICs in my system that are actively running, is there a way to tell which NIC is doing what job? [00:15] alright, walmart run. spent all day at the beach and now i'm red as a fresh crayon. i'll be back later to implement more of my supurb google fu in a little while === dforthman is now known as dforthman[afk] [00:16] Yeah... That utility. I dont actually need to know the information about my drive, such as size, interface, FS type. What i need to do is understand how the files are mapped on a disk and reverse engineer a discovery to recover a partition i accidentally deleted, or at least some of the files. [00:16] but thankyou for the thought. [00:16] The_Explorer: I have no idea. haha. You can look at things like, bad sector count, and sector move count using disc utitlity. I don't think it can help you but it is more than 'size of the drive' [00:17] hello [00:18] The_Explorer - Have you tried TestDisk? I used it once to recover the partitions off a disk that failed once. May want to look in to that. [00:18] It's been a while since I've used it, but it's worth a shot right? [00:19] losty: hi. Problem?? [00:23] hello, is there a way to install windows .inf driver file on 11.04? [00:23] just wondering, as needed to install web cam drivers [00:23] losty: Usually no. The only except is ndiswrapper which is used for wireless cards. [00:23] losty: No. Are you sure your webcam doesn't have native drivers? [00:24] losty: Yes, are you sure the webcam doesn't work already? [00:24] hi edbian and Jordan_U [00:24] sorry just getting to grips qwith irc [00:24] losty: Hi. [00:25] Yo, anyone else have random logout issues on 11.04? [00:25] the native drivers not working with my webcam [00:25] I've disabled my screensaver already, so it cannot be that. [00:26] It only seems to happen when applications that connect to the internet are open (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, xChat, etc.) [00:26] naoko - It logs you off completely or locks the screen when you idle? [00:26] I have some issues with my WLAN connection. For no apparent reason, I am unable to connect ("bad password") and after a while i get "no networks available" until i reboot... where can i start to tackle this issue...? [00:26] dforthman: complete logoff, and not only when i'm idle, sometimes i'll be typing in an address and BAM! [00:27] losty: What happens when you try to use your webcam with cheese? [00:27] Oh wow, that sucks. I don't have 11.04 myself, but I'll see what I can dig up when I get back from the store. [00:27] nicofs: When the problem occurs look at dmesg to see errors. dmesg is sort of a running log. Look at it before the problem and then again after it to see the differences (things are only appended to dmesg so you can just look at the end) [00:27] I am completely stock aside from LAME, Google Chrome, Fluendo Codecs, and Transmaggedon [00:28] edbian, well, there is no error as such... just "bad password"... and scanning for networks not returning anything is not a classic error either - is it?!? [00:28] I am trying to work out the correct "partition" for a webdav space, It will be used for long term storage of photos & documents. ~6 users mixed windows and linux. I have read the LFH docs, but they don't really help. [00:29] nicofs: No, that's why you should look at the output of dmesg [00:29] naoko - Take the advice edbian just gave nicofs. Take a look at /var/log/dmesg and see if it's telling you what is causing the logout issue [00:29] edbian, ok, i'll try... [00:30] Is there an official banshee IRC? [00:31] Hey there. Has anyone been able to send the installer's output to a remote syslog? Or maybe know a way? [00:32] quick question: what is the command to back up the encryption key for an encrypted home directory? [00:32] If I have two NICs in my system that are actively running, is there a way to tell which NIC is doing what job? [00:32] I have a broken console, and it's difficult to see why a particular install is failing [00:33] its a sony laptop model VGN SZ5MN [00:33] i have searched online [00:33] and found that it has worked on previous versions of linux mint [00:33] but cant seem to get it to work using the fix that was applied [00:33] i found the windows driver, but not sure how to get it to install [00:33] i know that ndiswrapper used for wireless cards, but wondering if any way to apply similar way to install web cam driver [00:33] Linux Mint may be based on ubuntu losty, but I might want to check with the mint devs if it's worked on straight-up Ubuntu [00:33] losty: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:33] roasted: Look at wireshark that can bind to a particular interface, tcpdump which is CLI (and can bind to a particular interface), and nethogs which tells you what apps are generating which traffic. Somewhere in there is what you're looking for I think.

[01:15] earthmeLon: You want wlan0 to be wlan1 instead? [01:16] kb3gtn, edbian I want to duplicate the interface. I'm pretty sure I did it years ago. For example, to put one into monitor mode and to have one connect to an AP, using the same device [01:16] earthmeLon: airmon-ng [01:16] ^ yup [01:17] earthmeLon: It's called an alias http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-creating-ethernet-alias-for-eth0-network-device.html [01:17] earthmeLon: I'm sure it's the same for wlan0 [01:17] I think alias would give you wlan0:1 and not wlan1.. === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [01:18] hi all. quick question - i use my ubuntu laptop (Xubuntu 11.04 ) to allow my 360 to access the wireless network in my house but i dont know how to allow it to access the windows media center extender on my desktop over the network. any ideas? [01:18] I'm trying to compile something that requires libpulse. So I've installed libpulse-dev with apt-get. Still ld says "cannot find -lpulse". Any idea? [01:19] Thanks edbian <3 [01:19] Gosha: might be called something weird like pulse2 or something.. looking.. [01:19] sean-desktop: That sounds more like a Windows question, as it sounds to be like you're just using your laptop to bridge your 360 to your network. [01:20] yeah that is what i am doing Polah [01:20] i deactivated my windows firewall but no dice [01:20] kb3gtn: I tab twice at "libpulse" and no such things comes up. When I try to install it it simply says it's the newest version. [01:21] sean-desktop, ask in a Windows IRC channel then. We're for Ubuntu help and I don't think the problem lies with that [01:21] Gosha: looks like it should be -lpulse you see a /usr/lib/libpulse.so file? [01:21] Question - a while ago I heard that they were working on making Unity more dual screen friendly, so if your main monitor was on the right, you could at least put Unity on the right monitor (it always defaults to the left monitor now).

It's been several weeks. Has there been a fix yet? [01:31] how do i get unity back? [01:31] back from what [01:31] i had it on the livecd but after installing it went away [01:31] you have to select it at the login screen [01:31] ubuntu = unity, ubuntu classic = gnome 2.x [01:31] Roasted_: That's a focus for Ocelot (11.10) [01:31] says something about not supported. [01:32] plus i have mine set to login automatically =/ [01:32] Omega, the developers specifically said they're working on a fix now, for 11.04. [01:32] Wait, unity replaced gnome? I thought unity was just something extra added to gnome [01:32] earthmeLon, unity is a shell for gnome. it sits on top of gnome. [01:32] earthmeLon: It is alternative to gnome3. It does sit on gnome [01:33] edbian: It is an alternative to gnome-shell, not gnome3 [01:33] where do all of my apps go when I minimize them? Im running 11.04. [01:33] Omega: Ahh [01:33] edbian: In 11.10 unity will run on gnome3 [01:34] how do i install adobe flash on chromium in ubuntu 11.04?

Thats awesome. [01:36] trfsrfr: are you running 64 or 32 bit? [01:36] trfsrfr: im running 64 bit [01:37] linux_is_my_hero, 32 bit [01:37] Trfsrfr: sure [01:37] kb3gtn: Yeah.

[01:41] ericthegreat: do you have os-prober installed? [01:41] omega i installed 11.04 [01:41] no [01:41] ericthegreat: Can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l and the output of sudo cat /etc/default/grub [01:41] ok gonna be a min [01:41] ericthegreat: couple questions: (1) do you remember where you intalled grub? MBR? (2) what do your partitions look like? [01:42] ericthegreat: if you don't have os-prober installed, then it's not surprising your efforts are falling fruitless... sudo apt-get install os-prober then after thats done sudo os-prober [01:42] then sudo update-grub2 === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [01:43] ivs i cannot see my partitions currently says whole drive is unallocated [01:43] not true tho [01:43] brb [01:44] ericthegreat: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l", "sudo fdisk -l", and "sudo os-prober".

[01:46] edbian, I go through the steps, and it asks can I do such and such, and I cannot, but it doesnt tell me what to do if I cannot. [01:46] Trfsrfr: Be very specific. And give me a link. I wanna see if I can make sense of it [01:46] ivs, platform? 11.04 [01:46] ivs: The floor (hardwood) [01:46] what is a good irc addon like polars. been 3 years since i used [01:46] edbian, gimme a sec, i need to find the troubleshooting page again [01:46] Trfsrfr, I mean the type of computer/drivers/etc [01:47] Trfsrfr: k [01:47] Trfsrfr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting ?

You're sure? What user did you create? [02:00] edbian, I created my alter ego, pretty standard for me. [02:00] p3rp: doing this might help you boot into the drive if the BIOS isn't loading from USB. Just make sure you have a bootloader on the hd that will boot to the other partition. Also, your USB might not be a bootable USB on the hardware level.

Click that terminal and then use the arrows [02:08] @losty is it better?? [02:08] edbian, I think this is more of what I was looking for earlier: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1358702 [02:08] arleslie try changing through System > Preferences > Preferred Applications [02:08] losty, thanks, that worked... it's ashame I didn't know about that [02:08] cool [02:08] edbian, nothing [02:08] earthmeLon: awesome! [02:08] spectrum i like the simplicity [02:09] and also, it feels less bloaty...ish [02:09] edbian, but under f6 i dont see my sound card [02:09] Trfsrfr: When you say 'nothing' does that mean no sound or the sliders in alsamixer don't move? [02:09] edbian, no sound, and I didnt even see a slider [02:10] Trfsrfr: http://www.vaitkus.com/piesiniai/alsamixer.jpg does alsamixer look like this??? [02:10] edbian, no [02:10] Hello all... does anyone know of a program that will rip a cd to an ISO with a GUI? I hate that dd doesn't have a progress percentage.

I'll check it out [02:11] dingurt: You can get a progress report from dd by sending it a SIGUSR1. [02:11] not sure spectrum i havent tried it [02:11] Jordan_U: Yea, but I'm really, really lazy [02:11] Trfsrfr: find /lib/modules/`uname -f` | grep snd Those are back ticks not quotes [02:12] Hi - I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on machine with nVidia MCP79 ethernet. eth0 shows up on ifconfig. But does not get IP address. I also have wireless card on the same machine which gets ip address just fine. Would appreciate some help. [02:12] dingurt: Brasero can also do it, and comes with Ubuntu by default. [02:13] Jordan_U: I looked, but I can't seem to find a place to go from disc to iso... [02:13] obviously it goes the other way just fine [02:13] nevermind [02:13] found it [02:13] dingurt: Select Disk to Disk and in the next dialog there will be an option to output fo an iso. [02:13] /facepalm [02:15] ram_: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo ifconfig && sudo dhclient eth0"? [02:15] ram_: whats the interface your on, wlan0 or eth0, find it then run sudo dhclient eth0 or wlan0 see if that helps [02:15] I just installed skype on 11.04 and when I start it, skype eats up all the memory (4GB) on my system. Anyone know a fix to this? [02:16] Jordan_U and jamiewan: Will do it in a second. [02:16] edbian, im sorry, i dont know what that is that you posted [02:16] Trfsrfr: Did it return stuff? It's a command you need to run. It's in the troublshooting guide [02:17] edbian, I tried to run it but it says 'no such file or directory' [02:17] ram_: weird, works fine here... but i'm using 32bit [02:17] Trfsrfr: cd /lib/modules/ [02:17] edbian, also, im having problems copying from this chat [02:17] Trfsrfr: Can youdo that? [02:17] yep [02:17] Trfsrfr: ls | grep snd [02:18] Trfsrfr: Does that show you stuff? === mrclavet is now known as abacabb [02:18] Trfsrfr: select the text, then right click, window, then save text. holds it in the paste buffer [02:18] edbian, im not having any luck here [02:18] Trfsrfr: Did that command show you stuff or not? [02:18] Trfsrfr: What do you mean 'not having any luck' ? [02:19] edbian, I tried that command, but no such file or directory [02:19] Hi. How can I enable edge scrolling for my laptop's touchpad? [02:19] Trfsrfr: run ls does that work? [02:19] yes [02:19] Jordan_U and jamiewan and KM0201: http://pastebin.com/52rMcP5g [02:20] Trfsrfr: What are you running then that is saying 'no folder or directory?' [02:20] edbian, ls works, but there is no directory named modules [02:20] Trfsrfr: ls | grep snd [02:20] where does 11.04 hide the advanced settings ? [02:20] ram_: why are you running as root? [02:20] Trfsrfr: That does not call for anything named modules [02:20] KM0201: I also switched to 32 bit hoping it works, but same issue. [02:21] ram_: You didn't pastebin the output from "sudo dhclient eth0". [02:21] Oh, I was already on root. Should I do as myself? [02:21] Jordan_U, yes it's there, line 32-37 [02:21] Jordan_U: It is at the end of pastebin. [02:21] hi,i wanna install yum and got it with apt-get,but when i try use yum it doesnt work.. think missing (nonexisting) repositiries,anyone know how to fix or where i can find repositories thatll work with ubuntu 11.04 ? [02:21] edbian, when I run ls | grep snd, nothing happens. im right back at the command prompt [02:21] ram_, is your wireless card on the same network as your ethernet is connected? [02:22] weedbringer: why on earth would you want to use yum vs apt-get? [02:22] Trfsrfr: what if you type pwd ? [02:22] weedbringer: use apt-get [02:22] if somebody wants small, lightweight file manager based on pure Qt he could install it from my ppa [02:22] im used to yum.. wanna have it [02:22] https://launchpad.net/~dalibor/+archive/ppa-ddpbf [02:22] .. [02:22] Hi. How can I enable edge scrolling for my laptop's touchpad? [02:22] ram_: arleslie: That looks like output from ifconfig, not from dhclient. [02:22] arleslie: Correct. I am chatting on that client [02:22] so it seems possible as i got it with apt-get so it should work [02:22] edbian, says home, me, then back to command prompt [02:23] Trfsrfr: cd /lib/modules/ Does that work? [02:23] Jordan_U, my bad... [02:23] Jordan_U: after dhclient eth0, there is nothing. When I do ifconfig, it shows that extra stuff now. [02:23] weedbringer: Yum is not supported in Ubuntu. Why do you want to use yum? [02:23] edb that did something this time [02:23] Trfsrfr: yeah. what does pwd say now? [02:23] edb im guessing im in that directory now [02:23] hm:\ i got it with apt-get tho.. uh,im just more used to it..wanna have it [02:23] Trfsrfr: yes [02:23] lib/modules [02:24] ram_: dhclient might take a minute sometimes [02:24] Trfsrfr: ls | grep snd [02:24] Trfsrfr: What does that say? [02:24] did you wait for a bit or not [02:24] weedbringer, yum install = apt-get install ---- don't see much of a difference. [02:24] jamiewan: Yes, it too sometime, but just returned to command prompt after that. Then, I checked ifconfig to see if I got an ip. [02:24] I'm trying to enable my second monitor. NVIDIA X server settings says its failed to prase existing X config file. what gives. [02:25] edbian, puts me right back to the command prompt again. [02:25] ram_: is ethernet cable plugged in to machine also [02:25] hi guys. My dad recently installed windows and messed up the grub bootloader. I was able to boot from a live cd and run 'grub-install' on the previous linux partition. I specified the root (hd0,5) and setup (hd0) , then rebooted. Upon reboot I am only presented with a grub shell (no menu) === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [02:25] futureproof: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:26] Trfsrfr: That means the modules for sound are missing. We'll install them [02:26] okay [02:26] zeroXmalice, is it running with sudo/as root? [02:26] sorry for the text wall ( its lubuntu 9.10 last time I checked. It's my dad's machine) [02:26] •arleslie• yes [02:26] jamiewan: correct. Wire plugged in. [02:26] futureproof: Then it uses grub2, not grub legacy. [02:26] !grub2 | futureproof [02:26] futureproof: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [02:26] Trfsrfr: sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic [02:26] it says in console : device Section "Default Device" must have a Driver line. [02:27] Trfsrfr: Those are backticks. They're shift + [button to the left of number 1] [02:27] Trfsrfr: Sorry, no shift. Just the button next to the 1 button [02:27] jamiewan, Jordan_U, KM0202: When I do dhclient eth0 as myself (not root) it says SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied [02:27] Trfsrfr: backtick: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4kAav8Ee7oY/TIE-9joFKpI/AAAAAAAAIp0/QDZ4Ml5CvxA/s320/backtick.jpeg [02:27] futureproof: Also, 9.10 is EOL so you'll need to upgrade to 10.04.

Im trying to install an old game that I love (sokoban), but I dnt know how to compile it. I tried executing the Makefile (contents athttp://paste.ubuntu.com/615584/) in the terminal and I get no response, but I try to close the terminal It warns me about a process still running. Can someone please help? TIA! [02:28] my hard disk is decrypted, just want to know the key [02:29] ram_: You don't need to log in as root to run commands as root. And Ubuntu highly discourages loggining in as root. [02:29] ram_: its giving u an ip on wlan0 but to me seems wierd cause i thought normally eth0 takes over if cable plugged in [02:29] Trfsrfr: Try this one: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic [02:29] Trfsrfr: But you got the backticks right! [02:29] correct me if i;m wrong anyone [02:29] jamiewan, Jordan_U: dhclient eth0 is running. I agree, cable used to take over. But, on the same machine, I have OSX and cable works fine there. [02:30] jamiewan, Jordan_U: dhclient eth0 just returned. Did not say anything at the prompt. [02:30] nimbiotics, why not try Sokoban in the Software Center? [02:30] hi. is there a way to determine the memory your GPU has available? [02:30] ram_: disable wireless and try eth0?? [02:30] Hi guys. What's happening with the ubuntu servers? http://dpaste.com/548964/ [02:31] I am looking to move distros from ubuntu for a bit, but my home directory is encrypted and I didn't write down the key given to me on start up (I know stupid) [02:31] edbian, the copy function for me sucks here on this chat.

I am trying dhclient with -v. [02:32] nimbiotics, ok, on your copy of the game, is it a windows game or do you have the source files? [02:32] Trfsrfr: that seems bad [02:32] arleslie: i have the source files [02:32] hypatia, thanks! [02:32] lol [02:32] nimbiotics, try this "make | make install | install [02:33] Hi.

[02:36] nimbiotics, can you send me the file names? (ls) because I can't find the source ever being released, just wanna make sure your not confused. [02:36] hypatia, It definitely is an option, and youre not the first to mention it. [02:36] arleslie: i reckon its just his wireless, im on wireless at moment and it only returs for wlan0 as well for me [02:36] arleslie, jamiewan, Jordan_U: This happened first time after I booted into OSX (dual boot machine) and then booted into Ubuntu. Then I had to do CMOS reset to get it working in Ubuntu. But, it has worked before I installed dual booting. [02:36] Trfsrfr: at the very least, try booting into a live USB or CD environment to see if things work then :) [02:37] Trfsrfr: will save you a bit of time, anyway [02:37] hypatia, Yes, I will. That is a great idea. [02:37] Trfsrfr: use a USB key and you don't even need to make a coaster [02:37] Anyone know if there's an easy way to tell recordmydesktop to not resize its recording window? :-/ It's causing me all kinds of pain for recording a very specifically-sized and positioned screencast. [02:37] ram_, one thing you can try if you can't figure out anything else is to reboot your router. Just unplug it, wait about 15-30secs and plug it back in. [02:38] how do i activate the card reader in my ubuntu 10.04??? [02:38] * Scunizi_ just discovered remote desktop to a machine with dual monitors works lousy [02:38] hypatia, I will. Is that what you Canadiens call CD's? Coasters? [02:39] arleslie: I have rebooted my router before. I can give it a try again. I will be off line for few minutes. [02:39] Trfsrfr: nah, that's just what they become when you are done using them :) [02:39] lolcat, okay! [02:39] arleslie, jamiewan, Jordan_U: Going to try rebooting router. [02:39] hypatia, Do you think I should install 10.10 instead? [02:39] arleslie: the tree is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/615591/ [02:40] Trfsrfr: might as well test 11.04 - you said that sound wasn't working on 10.10 either, right? [02:40] hypatia, no, I actually had sound in 10.10 until I updated it. [02:41] Why doesn't LibreOffice's menu's end up on the top bar like "most" everything else?

[02:47] spectrum: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:47] viviane: but most usb keys are fat32 or 16 and they don't like files that size.. you might have to reformat it to ext3 [02:47] !ask | spectrum [02:47] spectrum: 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).

[02:50] if the usb key is formatted ms-dos it will not allow anything larger than 4gb? [02:50] Trfsrfr: ahh, in that case 10,04 or 10.10 sounds great :) [02:50] Trfsrfr: you may want to test 11.04 in a live environment before yu decide [02:50] spectrum: mira mi mensaje privado [02:50] i haven't received any updates for ubuntu 11.04 since my upgrade. is this correct? (in 10.04 i see updates nearly daily) [02:50] arleslie: what can I do in this case? [02:51] hypatia, wait...sorry, my memory is fading...I never had problems until I upgraded to the latest version...whatever it is [02:51] hi guys, I recently had to reinstall grub2 because of windows MBR. I ran the grub-install command on the old mounted linux partition and it seemed to succeed. When I reboot, I get a quick flash of 'loading GRUB...' then the screen goes black [02:52] Trfsrfr: that's 11.04 [02:52] Trfsrfr: so you want 10.10, probably... though i do rememer you said sound didn't work on that either [02:53] hypatia, no, I had sound in 10.10 after I changed something....somewhere... [02:54] hypatia, you know what? I'm really bad at remembering these numbers. I had sound at one point. [02:54] Trfsrfr: did you then upgrade to 11.04? [02:54] hypatia, yes [02:54] Anyone here using 11.04??? === Guest66307 is now known as Purple [02:55] and havent had sound since.

[02:55] how do you move the desktop ui to another screen [02:55] classic === Purple is now known as Guest21488 [02:55] i dont really like unity [02:55] if you are using 'classic' have you tried any screenlets [02:55] or can you try one for me... i think i've discovered a bug - see if you can add 'clearcalendar' [02:56] hypatia, Okay, let me download it from my laptop onto a stick. Then i will let you know what happens. [02:56] not yet. i have it installed on an upgrade laptop, i want to do a fresh install later before i start making it pretty [02:56] Trfsrfr: good good :) === tum is now known as Guest90986 [02:56] My HDD is destroyed.

[02:57] give me a sec bk to install and check it out [02:57] no prob thx [02:57] hypatia, pretty sure that's what I want [02:57] earthmeLon: Yes. [02:57] arleslie, Jordan_U, jamiewan: Restarting the router did not help. I rebooted into my osx just to check if eth0 works. It works there. In my ubuntu 11.04, eth0 shows up fine but no IP address. dhclient eth0 says 'No DHCPOFFERS received'. [02:57] I'd rather not use squashfs, though Jordan_U hypatia === Guest21488 is now known as PL4Y3R [02:58] Anyone else think Ubuntu may have 'jumped the shark' with this change to Unity?> [02:58] earthmeLon: It would be a bit dangerous though as you'd risk making the drive unbootable if something goes wrong.

[03:01] Jordan_U, I have the capability of putting another livecd on it [03:01] •arleslie• they are and i am [03:01] bkfitz i dont have an account either or i would :) [03:01] bkfitz you sure there isnt already a bug report submited, it seems like a pretty obvious bug [03:01] zeroXmalice, I have no issues with that setup on a dual-monitor setup... I just have issues when I throw my third monitor in there [03:01] PL4Y3R: 4.10, unsurprisingly, isn't supported here any more. [03:02] Gorlak: done a bit of googling and havent found anything, but.... [03:02] how do i enable it arleslie [03:02] bkfitz i know how that goes [03:02] PL4Y3R: Regardless of whether you want to keep it, updating would be EXTREMELY well recommended. It's 5-6 years behind on hardware, software and most importantly security updates. [03:02] Gorlak: thx for checking... Anyone else here have the ability to submit bugs? [03:02] hello, is there a program for ubuntu that will minimize my memory usage while I'm playing games or doing something I tend to use alot of memory for? [03:02] i'm not worried bout it i have 3 pc's anyway [03:03] bkfitz: Why can't you do it yourself. [03:03] earthmeLon: Great. Can you copy the Ubuntu iso to the USB drive (as a file, not extracting it)? [03:03] ram_, the best I can tell you now is try the forums. [03:04] arleslie: which one ? please suggest. [03:04] Polah: I am :) [03:04] eiriksvin: I haven't heard of one, but that'd be pretty cool. [03:04] !forums | ram_ [03:04] ram_: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC freenode #ubuntuforums. [03:04] goodbye irc [03:04] bkfitz: So why would one of us need to do it for you? [03:04] PL4Y3R: If you want to go with ancient versions, 5.04 and 5.10 are much better experiences than 4.10. But I'll reiterate, please don't ask for support for it here. === joel is now known as Guest67204 [03:04] It would require me to unplug the usbdrive/reboot, but absolutely. Let me do that Jordan_U [03:04] arleslie, ubottu: thanks! [03:04] plus sellin one of my pc need to pay bills thanks anyways [03:05] that's chmod Polah [03:05] Polah: didn't know a 'launchpad' account was super easy to create... thought maybe you had to be 'a verifiable committer' or something first... I'm doing it now... [03:05] PL4Y3R, I updated from Ubuntu 6.04 all they way up to 10.10, that was a great thing, now I'm playing WoW on a PC that is a dino!! [03:05] PL4Y3R: Please don't sell someone a computer with Ubuntu 4.10 on it. [03:05] no it's a imac g5 now this one [03:06] not this one* [03:06] bkfitz: I wouldn't imagine it you'd need to be a verifiable committer or whatever. It'd make finding out about bugs a lot harder.

I just downloaded the .iso file and burned it, then tried to boot and install it, and it went straight (well, slowly; it's a CD) to what looked like a login screen. The only option visible was other, so I clicked on it and it brought me to a field that said "Username:" so I typed in the username that I wanted and then the password in the password field, but it [03:08] AdamHovorka: You were not supposed to be presented with a login screen. The fact that you were means that something went wrong. [03:08] hi there, just installed ubuntu 10.10 for a friend on her Eeepc 1000HE, everything seems to work except for the wireless... i tried going to 'hardware [03:08] anyone know if there is a open verison of PGP out there that works with linux that I could use to access PGP WDE [03:08] shackletom: that's 755.. 3 sets of 3.. 1+2+4=7 in the first triplet.. 1+0+4 in the second and third [03:08] hi there, just installed ubuntu 10.10 for a friend on her Eeepc 1000HE, everything seems to work except for the wireless... i tried going to 'hardware drivers' several times to see if it would pick it up and install drivers but it won't... any ideas? [03:09] that's great for chmodding files that already exist [03:09] I'm talking about new files that get written into a directory [03:09] shackletom: add 'umask 023' in ~/.bashrc and relog [03:09] alright [03:09] i'll try that Dulak [03:11] why is jbd2 writing so much so often and locking my system up with iowait [03:11] My monitors EDID isn't getting picked up.

I am trying to install it on an old "Micron ClientPro". The very fact that it even booted with the CD surprised me. I have no idea what to even look for to fix it. Any ideas? [03:12] Dulak: Nevermind, yours would be 754 [03:12] shackletom: here's a good writeup on umask http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html [03:12] 777 - 023 = 754 [03:13] anybody added vmtools to a ubuntu 11.04 cleint? [03:13] client [03:13] jonesst1: is this for virtualbox? [03:13] Dulak: Yeah, I had just seen above that Scunizi had said 755 instead of 754. Nevermind, 023 is right. [03:13] AdamHovorka: How much RAM does it have? [03:13] vmware esx [03:14] jonesst1: sorry I haven't played with vmware in several years.. if it's anything like vbox you have to do it via cli [03:14] that works great for directories Scunizi , thats not my problem. I just want files to have the default of x when I create them in certain directories [03:14] im at cli but it cant find the kernel [03:14] shackletom: the link I gave explains umask and creating defaut permissions for a user.. check it out [03:15] Yes, and that works for directories' [03:15] not for files [03:15] it wont let me get x permissions for files [03:15] just directories [03:15] it even says so in the example [03:15] jonesst1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools [03:15] shackletom: umask is on the environment, not the directory, you can't apply it per directory afaik [03:16] shackletom: according to the first paragraph it's for both [03:16] Jordan_U: The best number that I can come up with at this point is 256 KB, which sounds about right. [03:16] i think it just found it via google [03:16] thanks arleslie [03:16] this is what the article says "For directories, the base permissions are (rwxrwxrwx) 0777 and for files they are 0666 (rw-rw-rw)." [03:16] AdamHovorka: 256 MB sounds a lot more reasonable ;) [03:16] i dont want 0666 for files [03:16] i want 0777 for files [03:16] umask doesnt seem to let me do this if im using it right [03:17] shackletom: try the first line "When user create a file or directory under Linux or UNIX, she create it with a default set of permissions." [03:17] Jordan_U: Yes, that is true. [03:17] na, tahst not it either [03:17] yes, and umask doesn't let me have x-permission on a file no matter what combination of numbers I use [03:17] Thats the problem [03:17] umask 000 does not give me rwxrwxrwx on files [03:17] only on directories [03:18] AdamHovorka: I don't think that the liveCD installer will work properly with that little RAM. You can try using the alternate install CD, and you might also be interested in LUbuntu as it's much lighter. [03:19] shackletom: 777 would give you rwxrwxrwx [03:19] I just checked again, and it says "SYSTEM MEMORY 192 MB", though I can't be sure because I haven't had a chance to open it up yet. ;) [03:19] Bug submitted: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/791015 :) [03:19] Ubuntu bug 791015 in python-defaults (Ubuntu) "ClearCalendar Screenlet doesnt work on 11.04... other screenlets are fine." [Undecided,New] [03:19] Jordan_U: AdamHovorka: The minimum recommended amount of RAM for Ubuntu is either ~50 or ~110MB, I don't remember which exactly. [03:19] histo: He's trying to use umask, not chmod. [03:20] Polah: oh [03:20] I can't even find where it says 256 KB anymore. Another setup page? ;) [03:21] !requirements | Jordan_U & AdamHovorka [03:21] Jordan_U & AdamHovorka: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [03:21] Anyone here use makemkv here? [03:22] ubottu: Yes, I already checked there. Now it's saying 192 MB. [03:22] AdamHovorka: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:23] shackletom: what are the directories getting set at? [03:24] ~/.wine histo [03:24] shackletom: and umask can't override the permissions specified by the program that creates the file or directory [03:25] shackletom: what are you trying to do exactly? [03:25] I tryed to install xubuntu and the installer crashed lol [03:25] whenever a file or directory is created in ~/.wine i want that file to have rwxrw-r-- by default [03:26] Hi, can anyone help me with booting into Ubuntu? After fsck the system no longer boots. [03:28] shackletom: if you are having issues with the values you can umask u=rwx,g=rx,o=r and set it that way [03:28] alright, i'll try that [03:28] Does anybody have a solution for not booting after fsck? === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [03:29] Jordan_U, I've got the iso on the root of the thumb drive whenever you're ready :D [03:29] still the same problem, u=rwx only works for directories, i get rw for files [03:29] histo: Wouldn't that be the same as 023, which was already suggested? [03:29] Polah: I haven't been paying attention to what was already suggested [03:30] http://www.gsick.com/ubuntu/ [03:30] During boot, it freezes after "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility [OK]" [03:30] Shackletom: Perhaps it's a built in security feature that every file can't be saved as executable? Or a function to make life a bit easier, i.e. I wouldn't want a box popping up every time I try to open a standard text file asking if I want to run it, run it in a terminal or just display it. [03:32] hi [03:33] this is annoying not one decent doc [03:33] Polah: no he should be able to do that unless the .wine is in a fat mount or something goofy [03:34] does anyone know how to make nautilus "forget" login credentials for samba share mounts? [03:34] Polah: but he cant' set umask for a directory only for a process [03:35] Hello i have Linux dual booted with vista using GRUB how do i take Grub out without using windows disk? im on my ubuntu 10.04 live cd right now === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [03:35] madprops: What is that a link to and why did you post it? [03:35] shackletom: let me check something real quick [03:35] Dman674, do you want to keep it as a dual boot system? [03:36] Dman674: sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install mbr; sudo install-mbr /dev/sda [03:36] no i want to take out grub i want it to use the origional boot to windows [03:36] Dman674: That is assuming that the disk in question is /dev/sda.

[03:38] using the cd is ot a choise [03:38] im just trying to see how this works [03:38] 1.9.3 [03:39] See how what works, yg ? [03:39] hi, i wanted to install ia32-lib but apt-cache search returns lsb-core among others. should i just install that instead? [03:39] shackletom: double check that version number doesn't see right [03:39] i'm in 10.04 [03:39] shackletom: I see a bug report in an old version that it wasn't honoring umask [03:39] 1.2.2 [03:39] i did sudo apt-get install mbr [03:40] in terminal what do i do now? [03:40] shackletom: but their bug reporting is a mess so it's hard to tell [03:40] Is there a specefic channel I should be joining for help with Ubuntu boot? [03:40] shackletom: how are you testing wether it's working? [03:40] anyone here use vsftpd that can tell me how to change the path that it opens to? currently it jails the user to the /home/user directory, but I want it to only open in the /var/www directory. [03:40] i looked in the /etc/vsftpd.conf file and it has no path mentioned. [03:40] i set the umask, and then i type touch 0 or touch 1 or however many times i try to test what a files permissions end up being [03:41] hey guys need some assistance [03:41] !ask | biggz [03:41] biggz: 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).

[03:42] I sooooo love being a noob, in anything.

[03:44] i have an hp g50 laptop that i installed 11.04 on recently but i have an issue on start up. when i select ubuntu from the boot menu (dual boot with windows 7) it jus does not load. i have to turn it off and back on, boot in recovery mode, select boot normally. when it drops to the shell i log in and run the restart command and then ubuntu loads properly [03:44] Logan_: yeah yeah but how do you defrag it [03:44] it's sposed to be a feature in ext4 now [03:44] sabgenton: e2fsprogs [03:45] k [03:45] celthunder, sabgenton still in development, not yet released. [03:46] psusi: ah [03:46] biggz: so you are able to get into the GUI from rescue mode [03:46] psusi: info? [03:46] sabgenton, eh? [03:46] sabgenton, there is no *need* to defrag. there are third party programs that can, but fragmentation is not a problem unless you keep your hard drives mostly full all the time [03:46] psusi: road map etc [03:46] biggz: what do you mean does not load === KDE is now known as Guest81585 [03:47] in 11.04 when one user logs out, there is no sound for the other user that logs in. bug? [03:47] sabgenton, it's being worked on, but last I saw, it is not built and installed by default... maybe in 11.10 [03:47] @scottmaccal i get to gui after a do a restart from recovery mode [03:47] digitalstimulus: linux addmins have shown me problems , compared to ntfs etc takes ages but can still happen [03:48] sabgenton, but yea, it is generally not necessary [03:48] sabgenton, did they forget to purge some log files for years? heh [03:48] psusi: so when released it will be a flag on e2fsprogs? [03:49] @celthunder the cursor would just blink but the machine freezes.. while other times it get freezes with the purplish background [03:49] heh [03:49] sabgenton, it will be a utility in e2fsprogs called e4defrag... though there is the ancient e2defrag that was abandoned years ago... I'm keeping it alive at launchpad.net/e2defrag, but it doesn't work on a mounted fs [03:49] biggz: I think you are having a video card issue [03:50] sabgenton, though it does do a perfect job packing all files in one pass and is fairly quick about it [03:50] thx e4defrag goes well in google [03:50] after the attempt to boot normally fails and i restart to boot in recovery mode i get an end trace message [03:50] biggz: once you are in the GUI from the recovery mode investigate in installing a proprietary video driver [03:51] psusi: reall doe e2defrag work well? [03:51] biggz: I had similar problem with a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio [03:52] hi all :) where do i install CA public keys for individual users? [03:52] sabgenton: stable or highley experemental? [03:52] here is the vid card that i have 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [03:52] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [03:52] hdon: uhm generally those are global... [03:52] celthunder, yeah. i know. [03:52] Question - a while ago I heard that they were working on making Unity more dual screen friendly, so if your main monitor was on the right, you could at least put Unity on the right monitor (it always defaults to the left monitor now). It's been several weeks. Has there been a fix yet? [03:52] sabgenton, as far as I know... of course, if it does mess up, it is likely to destroy the whole fs... but yea, it does a good job... you can even specify priorities for which files should be packed closer to the start of the disk... I've been experimenting with using that to pack the files ureadahead reads during boot to speed it up [03:53] hdon: for a specific application or ? [03:53] celthunder, anyhow, putting it in /etc/ssl/certs just for kicks didn't seem to satisfy curl :( [03:53] celthunder, no just messing around and don't want to change the PKI for eveyrone else on the system [03:53] biggz: I am not sure about that particular video card but I know my nvidia required a fix [03:54] biggz: once you are in GUI from recovery mode do an: sudo apt-get update followed by an: sudo apt-get upgrade [03:54] Jordan_U, I crashed. I have mounted the iso, but I dont remember what file you needed information from. [03:55] biggz: that is from the terminal [03:55] earthmeLon: /boot/grub/loopback.cfg [03:55] i have no proprietary drivers in use [03:55] psusi: cool thx :) [03:55] yes i ran lspci [03:55] biggz: you may require one [03:56] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/1Qm5Z91M [03:56] I'd like to add a wireless card in a desktop to use with kismet. Any recommendations? [03:57] Prism/Atheros cards, Xcytre :D This is probably not the best channel for that, though [03:57] Xcytre: anything that uses Ath9k should be good... [03:57] earthmeLon: What is the exact path to the Ubuntu iso? [03:58] Ok, thanks... [03:58] Hi room can you tell me what colour this is on your screen please [03:58] so should i visit intel's site for a drive for my card then? [03:58] Hey all, my google-fu is failing me. I recently upgraded my 10.04 LTS and I'm getting what appear to be a bunch of udev errors on boot. Is there a known issue or fix for this? [03:58] The ISO is found at /media/cdrom/un10556.iso Jordan_U [03:58] yg, black [03:58] yg, black on white, like everyone else :) [03:58] digitalstimulus thanks [03:58] i was trying to change it [03:59] is it possible [03:59] yg, I'm using xchat, and it probably disables colors by default, I don't know [03:59] Try #xchat yg [03:59] thanks [03:59] scottmaccal: i have installed all available updates to date and still have the problem [04:00] how much RAM ubuntu desktop needs to perform ok? [04:00] I want to know how much I need to give to a vbox guest [04:00] bencc, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [04:00] earthmeLon: How much RAM do you have? [04:00] biggz: I think a good starting point would be to Google the video card you have and the Ubuntu version and see what you turn up [04:00] swap used is 349MB. is it ok? [04:01] bencc usually 1 gig [04:01] * psusi decides to build the experimental e4defrag and take it for a test drive... [04:01] bencc when you use top is the swap number always changing? [04:01] jonesst1: 349MB is because I have only 512MB? [04:01] Not exactly sure, Jordan_U. It's either 6 or 8 GB. Plenty enough to fill with some more temp data :D [04:01] hey anyone here? i need a lil help. i kinda screwed something up :( [04:02] jonesst1: no. it's steady [04:02] how can I use Ubuntu Live CD to check computer's RAM for problems? I have the latest Ubuntu on the CD? [04:02] bencc so tahst suggests u are ok [04:02] biggz: You could also Google the laptop you have and Ubuntu and see if others have had the same issue and hopefully someone has a solution [04:02] ok gonna check that out and get back in a bit [04:02] jonesst1: isn't 512MB swap too high? [04:03] wimpog, I think the easiest solution is using unetbootin. Pretty sure that it gives you a memtest option and another option to boot into livecd [04:03] wimpog: when you boot the CD look for the check RAM option [04:03] am sure getting that trace error i got earlier would shed some light... how can i get it? [04:03] bencc how much ram does the machine have? how much swap? [04:03] earthmeLon: the live cd doesn't seem to have memtest. what is unetbootin? [04:03] i was changing some settings on my ethernet card, and tried to set it back by setting my /etc/network/interfaces file back to normal. but now i cant seem to get online. i am using the computers wireless to get online with my xbox via ethernet. the wlan woeks but not the ethernet. gives me an ip of 10.42..43.1 [04:03] jonesst1: 512MB RAM, 512MB swap [04:04] jonesst1: 100MB RAM free, 160MB swap free [04:04] hi [04:04] bencc: it depends on how hard u use it..... [04:04] bencc, I'm running 17494 swap `free -m` [04:04] anyone able to help me? [04:04] unetbootin is a program that puts live cd's onto cds and usb drives. the menu it gives is slightly different than the standard burning an iso to a cd and gives a memtest option. You could also try finding a memtest livecd. [04:04] earthmeLon: Create a file /media/cdrom/boot/grub/grub.cfg with this for the contents: http://paste.ubuntu.com/615607/ [04:04] like 17.5 GB swap, heh [04:04] !ask | sean-desktop [04:04] sean-desktop: 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. :-) [04:05] jonesst1: I use it for gedit with several tabs, several terminals, nginx, mongodb [04:05] biggz: trace error? No that sounds like a kernel problem. I would be interested if you had success in install another Linux distro, not that I am encouraging you to move away from Ubunutu ;-) [04:05] earthmeLon: Sorry, make that with this for contents: http://paste.ubuntu.com/615608/ [04:05] jonesst1: when I open a new terminal or doc I hear the disk working [04:05] bencc i have a debian samba and email serer they run fine on 512.... [04:05] benncc then maybe you need more ram [04:05] jonesst1: ok. thanks [04:06] Jordan_U, as ROOT I get this error: touch: cannot touch `/media/cdrom/boot/grub/grub.cfg': Read-only file system [04:06] So i restored alot of my files, after my... error. Having said that, does anyone know a program that will sort files? [04:06] i have been running ubuntu on this laptop since 9.10 [04:07] earthmeLon: That's expected. "sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/cdrom/" [04:08] I was afraid that would make my laptop freeze :P I've created the file with your second pastebin, Jordan_U [04:09] earthmeLon: OK. What is the output of "grub --version"? [04:09] earthmeLon: Sorry, "grub-install --version". [04:09] sh: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory [04:09] sh: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory [04:09] grub-install (GRUB) 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3 [04:10] i heard that minecraft was a rip off of some open source game [04:10] called infiniminer [04:10] Dos anyone in here use VPS? [04:10] that was cancelled [04:10] and which do they recommend? [04:11] earthmeLon: That's interesting. It shouldn't cause any problems but I'm curious why you got those errors. Do you see any output from "ls -a"? === aaron is now known as Guest451 === Guest451 is now known as PL4Y3R [04:11] Jordan_U, I only got those errors when I used /exec -o with xchat. They didnt happen when I did it at terminal, which is why I used the exec -o option [04:12] earthmeLon: Ahh, that makes sense then. [04:12] Linux is open source right [04:13] scottmaccal: i have been running ubuntu on this laptop since 9.10 [04:13] !freedom | PL4Y3R [04:13] PL4Y3R: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [04:13] how to play .sfw [04:14] Monster: Do you mean .swf? [04:15] Monster: drag the file to your browser address bar [04:15] o yeah [04:15] earthmeLon: Can you pastebin the output of "mount"? [04:15] Monster: Install Flash and play it through a browser, or use Gnash. [04:15] so u can mod linux [04:16] player yes [04:16] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/615613/ [04:16] thanks [04:16] good i hate Windows [04:16] who likes windows? [04:16] i hate it [04:16] windows is fine [04:16] g3h0d: People that like to play games and enjoy good wireless functionality (: [04:16] its a waste of my time [04:16] vista sucks [04:17] what have the done to the gui with natty ? [04:17] its different from maverick [04:17] the only one i still like is windows xp [04:17] Windows 7 isn't bad but vista was terrible [04:17] i love ubuntu [04:17] Psydoll: Login using "Ubuntu Classic" environment instead of "Ubuntu". Ubuntu uses Unity, Ubuntu Classic uses Gnome [04:17] vista should have been thrown away [04:17] yup [04:17] its fine for games [04:17] vista?@ [04:17] earthmeLon: You earlier told me the mountpoint was /media/cdrom/. Did you mean just /cdrom/ (and did you modify my mount -o remount,rw command)? [04:18] PL4Y3R, g3h0d, both system have their flaws and their benefits. It's unfair and unjustified to say one system sucks or is totally superior to the other. [04:18] vista is the worst for games [04:18] how do i list what meta packages i have installed? [04:18] Polah: I can still have things looking exactly the same in natty as they did in maverick by using the classic option? [04:18] Windows xp is great for gaming [04:18] g3h0d: GUI-less Linux is the worst for games, I'd say [04:18] .hiub #java [04:18] Psydoll: Yes. [04:18] i dont use linux for gaming [04:19] !ot | PL4Y3R g3h0d jonesst1 [04:19] PL4Y3R g3h0d jonesst1: #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! [04:19] Jordan_U, sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/cdrom/ I ran that command [04:19] g3h0d: But you said Vista is the worst for games, I'm just saying it's better than Linux. Anyway, yes; offtopic. === eliezer is now known as eliezer_ [04:19] earthmeLon: I don't understand how that's possible when the correct mountpoint was /cdrom/. [04:20] Jordan_U, /media/cdrom/ < Location of 'cdrom' [04:20] earthmeLon: Not according to mount. [04:20] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/615614/ [04:20] Polah: when is the next version of ubuntu coming out? [04:20] Is it possible to retrieve deleted images from a CD or DVD? [04:21] StevenSS: If the data has not been overwritten, yes. Although I don't know of many data recovery programs for Linux [04:21] earthmeLon: Notice that both have a "cdrom" directory :) [04:21] wen will ubuntu be running version 3 of the kernel? [04:22] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/615615/ [04:22] StevenSS: Sorry, I misread. I don't know about a CD or DVD, probably not, someone else might know. [04:22] biggz: when 3 is stable [04:22] Yes, I see that now. Only noticed it in /media/ [04:22] biggz: Not by 11.01 [04:22] biggz: Some time after linux switches to a version number of 3.X, which is not likely to happen any time soon. [04:22] 10* [04:22] If I take out my laptop hd, install ubuntu server, put the drive back in my laptop, will it work? [04:23] Jordan_U: have you been asleep lately? [04:23] mattk: You'd need the drive in it to install it. Unless you're going to set the drive up on another computer? [04:23] Jordan_U: http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2011/05/31/linux_kernel_version_3_0/ [04:23] is there any program out that I can install that will help me learn the command line better?~ [04:23] mattk: and probably not, wireless drivers wouldn't work, maybe some hardware [04:23] I really want to improve on the command line [04:23] Polah: I need it set up for my laptop but the video card is messed up [04:23] anybody installed vmware's vmtools on ubuntu on esxi 4? [04:23] Psydoll: Sure, it's called #ubuntu on Freenode in IRC (: [04:24] Psydoll: So install a linux install without a GUI? [04:24] Polah: will it work at all or at least give me a terminal? [04:24] mattk: Installing Ubuntu won't magically fix the GPU... [04:24] akerl: I could do that but I would like to practice abit here before i go that deep into it [04:24] earthmeLon: It's important that the grub.cfg, and the iso file, be in the right place. If you don't see the /boot/ which contains /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the same directory as the iso file then something is wrong. [04:24] akerl: what distro would you then recomend? [04:24] Psydoll: Check out virtualbox [04:24] Polah: I'm not trying to fix the gpu, the computer still works except for taht [04:24] mattk: Of course, if it's a software issue then popping in a LiveUSB/CD and installing should be fine. Hardware issue, no go. [04:24] akerl: Virtual box is that a linux distro? [04:25] Jordan_U doesn't need sleep. He will be turned into FloodBot4 soon, akerl [04:25] mattk: How do you expect to use it with no screen to see with? [04:25] Polah: ssh [04:25] Jordon_U: linux sign off on version 3rc1 just the other day [04:25] earthmeLon: Can you pastebin the output of "ls /cdrom/" and "ls /media/cdrom/" ? [04:25] Psydoll: Slackware :p or really any distro. Install virtualbox, load up a VM of whatever distro you fancy, play around [04:25] mattk: That could work, seems a bit more effort than is really necessary. Why not just install ubuntu on the computer you're SSHing from? [04:25] Jordan_U, /media/cdrom is a symbolic link to /cdrom/ [04:25] Jordan_U, ls -lh allowed me to see that :D [04:25] Polah: because I want a dedicated server [04:26] akerl: I was looking at slackware I can run that on a virtual machine? [04:26] Psydoll: Yes. You can run pretty much any linux on a VM, especially when you aren't installing a gui [04:26] akerl: Ive never used a virutal machine before how can i get started? [04:27] Psydoll: Google? Virtualbox? [04:27] earthmeLon: Good :) [04:27] Jordan_U, I just opened my grub.cfg. the file= are pointing to /cdrom/ and not /media/cdrom/. Is that what you're referring to? [04:28] akerl: Yes I get that program then get the iso of the distro that i want to try out? [04:28] Bingo [04:28] ty [04:28] mattk: You might run into some hardware driver issues if you install it from another computer. Give it a try, but chances are your wireless won't work either way. [04:28] So, I just installed Ubuntu on my second hard drive (sdb) and the bootloader was installed on sda. Where are the grub config files on sda? [04:28] can anyone tell me the name of the usenet server program that donwloads and assembles .nzb files? It has a browser based gui? I was unsuccesful in googling it [04:29] earthmeLon: OK. Here is the step that will break your current live boot setup. Run "sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/cdrom/boot/ /dev/sda". [04:29] FreezingIsh: /boot? [04:29] can't I get it working later on? [04:29] Polah: can't I get it working later on? [04:29] Polah, sda only has windows partitions [04:29] Yet it still boots grub [04:29] Jordan_U, Before I do that, what's the *NEXT* step? :P [04:29] I've been looking all over the hard drive, but I can't seem to find where it installed [04:29] FreezingIsh: There are none. There is only the mbr and post-mbr gap. [04:29] waiiit [04:29] mattk: Perhaps. Wireless support is pretty bad. [04:29] So it's just on the MBR? [04:29] FreezingIsh: It's outside any partition. [04:29] oh [04:30] How can I edit it? [04:30] FreezingIsh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:30] I have two laptops running 10.04. both running the same theme. on one the scrollbars are like usual, on the other they're tiny, and a weird blob pops up when I get the mouse close to them [04:30] I'm flooding? :/ [04:30] FreezingIsh: sudo I assume. Ask someone else for the specifics on what to do [04:30] why the difference? and how can I go back to the old style? [04:30] FreezingIsh: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc [04:30] paul__: NZB Primer? [04:30] 11.04, sorry [04:30] But where is the file? [04:30] FreezingIsh: Assuming you want to install grub's boot sector to /dev/sdb instead. [04:30] I don't [04:30] Dooglus: What are you on now, 11.04? when you login, select "Ubuntu" at the bottom and change it to "Ubuntu Classic". [04:30] Polah: it has a web-based gui? [04:30] You typed too many lines too fast, use complete sentences, the enter key is not punctuation. [04:30] I want to edit it to boot something else [04:30] FreezingIsh: There is no file, as there is no filesystem. [04:30] paul__: I don't know, I was just suggesting something. [04:31] I mean I want to edit the MBR [04:31] Polah: I use xfce4 [04:31] FreezingIsh: What is your end goal? === ar0nic is now known as marowanna [04:31] There's a long story [04:31] dooglus: Select that when you logon then instead of Ubuntu Classic or whatever? [04:31] Polah: I just want the original style Gtk scrollbars [04:31] Polah: thank you... I'm looking for a specific one I used to use which just runs as a daemon/server type thing. You can access it through the web [04:31] Polah: I do. but the scrollbars are still 'new style' [04:31] dooglus: Can't help you with that then, sorry. [04:31] Jordan_U, Do I need to know anything else before I run "sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/cdrom/boot/ /dev/sda" ? [04:31] earthmeLon: The next step is testing it in qemu (don't try to do this without following my instructions), and after confirming that it looks good rebooting. [04:32] What is a great software package I can make C++ programs from? [04:32] but I'll give you the short one: gentoo couldn't install grub to sda, so I had to install to sdb which caused a ton of issues. So now I used Ubuntu to install grub on sda and I want to change it to point to gentoo [04:32] StevenSS: gedit [04:32] earthmeLon: It'll overwrite your MBR and current installation of GRUB. [04:32] exit [04:32] very funny. No, seriously [04:32] StevenSS: emacs? [04:32] So, how can I change grub in the MBR? [04:33] FreezingIsh: Run "sudo update-grub", which will update /boot/grub/grub.cfg (stored in your Ubuntu partition on sdb, not anywhere on sda). [04:33] Jordan_U, I though by 'breaking' you meant I would be losing contact with you. Installation finished. No errors reported. Going to take a quick bio break before proceeding if you dont mind. [04:33] StevenSS: CodeLite perhaps. [04:33] err [04:33] I deleted ubuntu [04:33] can anyone tell me why linux 2.6.38-8-generic is not working for me it just turns my screen black and i can't do anything [04:33] Removed all the partitions, I'm back in a liveCD now [04:33] earthmeLon: How long of a break? [04:34] prezident: What Ubuntu distribution would help. Have you tried booting into an earlier version of the kernel? [04:35] to anyone taht was curious about my question the program is called SABnzbd [04:35] polah ubuntu 11.04 -yes 2.6.35-28-generic works perfect but i need 2.6.38 for something ? [04:35] Prezident: Why would you specifically need 2.6.38? [04:35] earthmeLon: We're very close to done with the real work. If everything was done properly you should just be able to reboot and install normally (it will load the entire contents of the iso into RAM so that you can unmount the flash drive entirely before installing). [04:35] Polah: seems doing export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 in .xprofile will fix it [04:35] So, know how I can edit grub on the MBR? [04:36] not sure why one machine sufered from the problem and not the other though [04:36] polah im tyring to use virtualbox and the kernel needs to be updated [04:36] Hi all, I installed apache2 for development, don't always want it running, how do I prevent it from running at startup? [04:36] FreezingIsh: If you deleted Ubuntu then you broke grub. [04:36] and it's only in some apps too - firefox and emacs are OK but some apps aren't [04:36] I know [04:36] I want to fix it now [04:37] FreezingIsh: sudo grub-install --boot-directory= /dev/ FreezingIsh: You "fix" it by installing grub. Since you're not trying to setup Ubuntu it's a question better asked in #gentoo or #grub. [04:37] FreezingIsh: i.e. sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda [04:37] well they won't know how Ubuntu sets up grub [04:38] FreezingIsh: That's how to do it. ^ [04:38] Psydoll, why kind of networking? [04:39] being able to configure the internet settings etc [04:39] I kept my partition's names the same though, can't I just add a menu.lst file on sdb? [04:39] FreezingIsh: It doesn't matter how Ubuntu sets up grub. You removed Ubuntu, you fix that by starting from scratch and installing grub. [04:39] FreezingIsh: No. [04:39] Why not? [04:39] Psydoll: Most things can be done through ifconfig I think. Ask someone else to help you, I can't do specifics. [04:39] Grub is still looking for the same config file right> [04:40] FreezingIsh: Because you removed 75% of grub when you removed the Ubuntu partition. [04:40] anybody knows how to update kernels [04:40] ? [04:40] prezident: apt-get? [04:41] apt-get install what and what [04:41] ? [04:41] ?? Me thinks you don't know what you're trying to do [04:42] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get safe-upgrade [04:43] Anyone? Not letting apache run at startup? [04:43] Jordan_U, Are you saying I should reboot? [04:44] tapoxi: Remove it from your inits? [04:44] !bum | tapoxi [04:44] tapoxi: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [04:45] Flannel: Thanks. Also, heh, bum. [04:45] prezident: kernel.org and build one? [04:46] earthmeLon: Not yet. I'd like to do a check to be sure we did it right first. run "sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm && sudo losetup -r /dev/loop2 /dev/sda && gksudo qemu /dev/loop2". [04:46] what is more "standard"? lzma or xz? do they keep file permissions? [04:47] celthunder - i don't know how to build i end up messing something up [04:47] prezident: For what reason do you feel the need to build kernels? [04:47] bencc: If you use tar you can preserve permissions with the -p switch [04:47] Jordan_U, I have a QEMU window that popped up giving me GRUB options like livecd [04:47] bencc: Those are compressions. They compress whatever you give them. Tar can preserve permissions, which is the relevant part [04:48] earthmeLon: Select the first option. It should load the kernel successfully and likely fail at some point to boot completely. === niles|iPod is now known as g2g [04:49] does tar -p also preserve the user or does it set the user that extracts the files? [04:50] earthmeLon: The moment you see either the Ubuntu logo splash screen or scrolling boot messages you can be sure it worked. [04:52] bencc: Here is the Manual on that, GNU/GPL style:>http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html [04:52] gnewb: thanks [04:53] bencc: You are welcome, I hope that helps. [04:54] i use xubuntu 10.04 and just installed the updates from yesterday but now i dont have anymor the network manager icon in the task bar? help pls [04:55] so just did a 11.04 install [04:55] and comp says that no boot devce is found [04:55] I assume grub didn't install properly/at all? [04:56] Xeppo: Reinstall GRUB.. sudo grub-install --boot-directory= /dev/sdX [04:56] Jordan_U, that froze my laptop, but i've rebooted successfully :D [04:56] Xeppo: i.e. sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda [04:56] I'm thinking this is a stupid question but I dont have time right now for another download; [04:57] visitor1, right click panel > add to panel > notification area OR indicator applet, one of those two. [04:57] Trfsrfr, what's your question? [04:57] I was downloading 11.04 on my laptop for a live run on my desktop [04:57] Jordan_U, I am still unable to unmount the usb drive to partition it, though [04:57] why do i sometimes get my fieldsets to be collapsible alright, and sometimes they refuse to be collapsible? i'm working with a regular page in drupal 7. [04:58] when I came back from food, my laptop wouldnt come out of screensaver, and I did a hard re-boot. [04:58] Polah_ it says i am already running it [04:58] Polah_: I'm getting a "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat 'aufs'." [04:58] ldraf: Better asked in HTML/web design channel, but possibly because you're writing your script wrong or not naming things correctly in it. [04:58] the size of the file in my download folder is 683.5mb. [04:59] Xeppo: Trying to install grub on a drive you're currently running? Or are you on a LiveCD/USB and are trying to do it? [04:59] LiveCD [04:59] Trfsrfr, please just ask your question. What's the problem? [04:59] Xeppo: Is it mounted? [04:59] just wondering if it actually downloaded the entire file, or if it didnt, and is bad? [04:59] Polah_, which other channel do you mean? do they also do drupal there? [04:59] I dunno? [05:00] yes, it's mounted. [05:00] ldraf: Should come under web design, not Drupal. Drupal is just a CMS, it doesn't change how your HTMl/PHP/JS works or anything like that. [05:00] Xeppo: Can't help you any more then, sorry. [05:00] Polah_ i just removed and added it again but no network manager icon only orange [05:00] whats the shell cmd for parallel execution? is it a pipe? [05:00] ldraf: /j #drupal [05:00] Polah_: because it's mounted? [05:00] Trfsrfr: 64-bit or 32 bit? [05:00] Visitor1: Can't help you then, sorry. [05:00] Polah_, thanks. And 32 bit. [05:01] Xeppo: No, it should be mounted. I don't know how to help you anymore, try asking in #grub [05:01] kk [05:01] Trfsrfr, I'll give you an MD5 sum [05:01] Polah_, so i did figure out that this should be drupal's problem, because the difference between when i get collapsible fieldsets and when i don't is in the class attribute - sometimes drupal just decides not to add the collapsible modifier... [05:01] Trfsrfr, 683.5MB, named "ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso"? [05:02] Polah_, yes [05:02] Polah_, i'm thinking maybe fieldsets are only collapsible inside forms... [05:02] ldraf: I really can't help you, I've no idea about setting up collapsible fieldsets and it's not really an Ubuntu issue. Take it into #html or similar. [05:02] Trfsrfr, compare: 8b1085bed498b82ef1485ef19074c281 ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso [05:03] Polah_, sorryy!!! i thought i was in #drupal. my BAD!! what's wrong with me, seriously... [05:03] Trfsrfr: i thought you said you had a 64 bit system [05:03] earthmeLon: Forgot about that problem (easy to fix though), I should file a bug report about it. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo losetup -a"? [05:03] Trfsrfr, if it's 64-bit you have then my md5sum won't match. 32-bit has i386, 64-bit has amd64 [05:03] celthunder, I have an amd athlon64 [05:04] but i believe i downloaded the 32 bit system [05:04] meh [05:04] * celthunder shrugs and goes back to doing nothing [05:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/615626/ Jordan_U [05:04] Trfsrfr, does the iso you downloaded say i386 at the end of it? [05:05] Polah_, yes [05:05] i386.iso [05:05] Trfsrfr, then we have the same version. Run md5sum on it and compare it to the string I gave you [05:05] Trfsrfr, 8b1085bed498b82ef1485ef19074c281 [05:05] Should match [05:06] any workaround for the wake from suspend in 11.04? [05:06] Polah_, ok [05:06] earthmeLon: OK, since I'm curious please try running the installer. It will ask if you want it to unmount the partitions and I'm curious if it's smart enough to figure it out on its own. If it's not then "sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0" should allow you (and the installer) to unmount it. [05:07] Polah_, wait [05:07] Trfsrfr, what is it? [05:07] im downloading this file on my laptop, for use on my old desktop [05:07] Trfsrfr, and? [05:08] how do i make my monitor run at 60hz instead of 70hz === node is now known as Guest79829 [05:08] Polah_, celthunder just made me question what I was doing lol [05:08] okay [05:08] earthmeLon: I'll be away for half an hour to 3 hours, but you should be good to go on your own from here. [05:08] Jordan_U, >_< The drive is 4 gigs. The installer wants at least 4.4G. [05:08] Trfsrfr: eh i was just asking [05:08] i just want to know if the file i downloaded is a good file and not corrupt [05:09] celthunder, its cool. [05:09] earthmeLon: :( [05:09] Jordan_U, Thanks so much for your help! I really thought I'd installed Xubuntu on a 4gb thumb drive before [05:09] I see my desktop in ubuntu, but I have snow/noise artifacts everywhere. i think its because my monitor should do 1680x1050x60 not x70, how can i resolve this? [05:09] Actually I *KNOW* I have xubuntu on a 4gb thumb drive at home Jordan_U [05:10] So this place is only for support? [05:10] anyone else had issues with natty randomly kicking to login screen? [05:10] hcabaguio: Yes. [05:10] earthmeLon: You're welcome. [05:11] Where can I talk about ubuntu's ui [05:11] Aka ayatana? [05:11] Trfsrfr, if you downloaded the 32-bit ISO which you have if it says i386, then it's 32-bit and should match mine. Just run an md5sum on it and see if it matches. [05:12] zeroXmalice: Did you do a Xorg Config? [05:12] yeop. [05:12] it set my monitor to disabled or some crap. [05:13] zeroXmalice: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 http://www.dkfz.de/spec/linux/modeline/ linked doesnt work. [05:14] hello anyone busy? i need a lil help [05:14] zeroXmalice: Go to the last page of that thread, [05:15] Polah_, wow, you just lead me on a path... [05:15] zeroXmalice: I posted an Ubuntu Forum link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 [05:15] Trfsrfr, what? I told you what to do to check if it's correct [05:16] Polah_, yes...and thank you...now if I only knew how to use what you gave me...:) [05:16] I do however, know the --help thing! [05:16] •gnewb• Is there a way to query xrandr for available --outputs? [05:17] Trfsrfr, open up a terminal, navigate to the directory you downloaded the iso to, then run "md5sum ". Let it run and it'll give you a string like mine. Just compare the two of them and see if they match. If they match, your ISO is good to go. [05:17] what anti virus can i deploy on linux (server)? [05:18] I don't think xrandr is what I want, its showing my full monitors as one screen I think, I need to change the refresh on one of them, not the other. [05:18] Anyone using the new ubuntu-monospaced? [05:18] Polah_, very cool. thanks again. I think I can figure that out. [05:19] I don't even get viruses on windows. [05:19] but i guess servers are another issue [05:19] a good firewall. and use of a reverse proxy should suffice imo [05:20] zeroXmalice: Yes, I think this kernel supports that, ttp://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html [05:21] adamkex you shoulodnt need one [05:21] ... [05:21] pylix jonesst1: i am going to have a file server with windows clients [05:22] That wont work. I just said this, xrandr shows both monitors with ONE resolution. [05:22] adamkex: There's a number of antiviruses available for Linux. There's Avast, but I can't name any others for certain. [05:22] Is this right? "sudo mv | grep | ls /media.drive/lost+found/*/*.rtf /media.drive/rtf/" ? [05:22] Polah_: okay, thank you [05:23] i didnt think avast did linux [05:23] adamkex: clamav [05:23] clamav might [05:23] Adamkex: AVG apparently, clamav, avast, kaspersky. A lot of major companies have Linux versions too [05:23] clamav is the only free oen I know of [05:23] celthunder: is clamav any good? i heard it's not updated very often [05:23] zeroXmalice: Oh , my apologies, I did not know it was a dual monitor thing. Ubuntu Geek or the Forums should have that answer if no-one here does now. [05:24] Polah_: okay, thank you :) [05:24] clamav isnt well regarded [05:24] depedns if u want to pay or not [05:24] I had to manually add a mode line or change the horizsync/vertrefresh before, I remember that. it doesnt get EDID [05:25] adamkex: jonesst1 idk and honestly i don't care how well it works the only reason it's running at all is cause ihave a mail server and fail customers use it with outlook and windows...i coudln't carel ess if they get viruses [05:25] !anti-virus [05:25] !virus [05:25] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [05:25] celthunder: hehe :) [05:25] adamkex: lol they pay me to make sure they get email...not to sort through it [05:26] i used to run clamav on my email server but i just run avast on the windows stuff now [05:26] Polah_, that was awesome. thanks so much. What does md5sum dobasically? [05:26] it makes a magic number, fairly unique, given the exact content of a file. [05:26] celthunder: hehe :) [05:26] change the file, number changes. [05:27] jonesst1: i run avg on windows [05:27] zeroXmalice: it's not pefect...you can i'm pretty sure change the file and get the same md5 hash...it doesn't analyze everything [05:27] trfsrfr: calculates an MD5 hash based on a file's data. Any changes in the data will result in a change in the hash. Therefore two identical files would have the same hash. Hence why if your iso was identical to mine, the hashes would match. === arleslie is now known as arleslie[A] [05:27] celthunder: that's incorrect except in very controlled circumstances [05:27] celthunder: Almost any change would result in a change in the hash. [05:28] i run avast [05:28] if you wanted two files to have the same hash, you'd have to try very hard [05:28] adamkex: I'd recommend the most lightweight antivirus you can find [05:29] Polah_, very cool. Now im going to put it on a stick, and reload it (possibly) on my desktop. [05:29] see if I cant get the sound to work [05:29] Trfsrfr, could've just tried reinstalling pulse (: [05:30] info on md5 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5 [05:30] rather than heresay, peer reviewed heresay :) [05:33] Polah_, okay..tell me more about pulse. I'd rather not re-install, but I have been without sound now for 2 months... [05:34] Trfsrfr, pulseaudio is (probably) what handles all your system audio. [05:34] And am a total newb. BUT, i did have sound at one point, in 10.???whatever it was... [05:34] Trfsrfr, sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio && sudo apt-get install pulseaudio should purge it and reinstall it. [05:35] ahight [05:35] Trfsrfr, I'm just assuming you'd be using Pulse, you could be using ALSA or OSS [05:35] and this dual monitor situation is driving me crazy!!! [05:35] I must love pain... [05:36] does anyone here use ailurus on natty? [05:36] Does linux work with exFAT? I keep hearing that it does, and that it doesn't. [05:37] can I choose compression level of gz/xz when using tar? [05:37] How do i say in bash: "command (variable= outcome of command) [05:38] bencc: man tar and have a look [05:38] Polah_: I did. don't see it [05:39] Hi. I need to completely wipe my hdd. I load from live cd, start gparted, remove all partitions and leave it unallocated. Then I boot from this hdd and I get: "error: no such partition." and grub rescue prompt. where does grub come from& [05:39] ? [05:39] !clone [05:39] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [05:39] Polah_, I just ran your command. should I restart? [05:39] bencc: Can't do it then. Use a different format for better compression, i.e. bz2 maybe [05:39] Trfsrfr, most probably. [05:40] !automate [05:40] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [05:42] Polah_: tar uses bz2 [05:42] Polah_: or whatever you like [05:42] bencc: I know. Pick whichever one has the best compression if that's what you want. [05:44] Polah_: that's what I was looking for: tar cvf - | gzip -1 - > file.tar.gz [05:45] bennc: tar -czpf .tar.gz [05:45] when I installed ubuntu, a couple of years ago, it asked me if I wanted my home folder encrypted I said I did. when I later tried to change my password, I couldn't see my files any more until I changed it back. has that been fixed yet? is it safe to change my password now? [05:45] creates archive, uses gzip, preserves permissions and f is used to define filename [05:45] Is ubuntu capable of using exFAT? I keep hearing that it does, and that it doesn't. [05:45] Lancelot: I don't think it can. [05:46] Polah_: I'm trying to decide on a format for a hard drive that is going to be on both windows and linux [05:46] Lancelot: NTFS? Ext3 has some support in Windows === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:47] Polah_: I was hoping to avoid NTFS is possible [05:47] if* [05:47] Lancelot: FAT16/32 has support in Windows and Linux. NTFS has support in Windows and Linux. ext3 has support in Linux and Windows but I'm not sure how good it is in Windows. === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest70729 [05:47] hi [05:47] Hello [05:48] ntiy: grub needs a working linux root partition as well as a master boot record. [05:48] Polah_: FAT16 and 32 are useless, they can't handle large files [05:48] I'll take a look [05:48] bencc: better: "GZIP=-1 tar cfz file.tgz " [05:48] Lancelot: I'm afraid you're stuck with little other option than NTFS or ext3 then. Other filesystems might also be supported in Windows, but probably not very well and I've not heard anything beyond ext3 [05:49] Polah_: okay then, thanks [05:49] Hi, I uninstall and purge bitlbee, now i reinstall it but no /etc/bitlbee directory [05:49] spidereater: so how is it possible? I removed all partitions and left unallocated space. rebooted from drive and got grub messages. don't understand it [05:49] spidereater: there are no partitions on my hdd now [05:50] grub is installed on your mbr. it's configuration files are on your root partition. you need both. [05:50] is there any apps or widgets that show upload/download in kbyte/s [05:50] i have an error when try to install some updates > [05:50] ntiy: GRUB is installed in the MBR. [05:50] Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pam/libpam-runtime_1.1.1-4ubuntu2.2_all.deb 404 Not Found [05:50] zeroXmalice, ifstat, run it in a terminal and it'll give you upstream/downstream throughput every 3 seconds or so. [05:50] oh, i see. is there a way to clean MBR from livecd? [05:51] •Polah_• anything pretty ? [05:51] ntiy: Reinstalling GRUB or Windows (Windows Bootloader) would wipe over it [05:51] my network connection is working [05:51] There's a way to do it using dd I think, but I can't recall how. [05:52] zeroXmalice: Not that I know of. Be glad it's a minimal tool, less resource intensive and does the job you want it to do. [05:52] xxmmaann, that file actually just doesn't exist. [05:52] you can boot from a GAG cd and install it to your mbr, it will boot any OS's you have installed. i don't know about wiping the mbr, maybe DBAN? [05:52] GAG is a boot loader, DBAN is a low level formatting tool [05:52] you can install grub using command line [05:53] ntiy: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=446 count=1 [05:53] I don't need grub. I need virgin clean hdd. so that when I star computer I see something like "no os found" or similar [05:54] just updated oneiric -- keyboard/mouse not working at the login screen -- how to fix? [05:54] dooglus: thanks [05:54] ntiy: That should do what you want. changing 446 to 512 would wipe out the partition table as well, making any data stored on the disk irretrievable without special recovery software (I imagine) [05:55] Polah_: thanks. let me try. [05:55] hi all [05:55] As spidereater mentioned, DBAN would wipe the entire drive and make ALL data totally irretrievable, I think you could even null it with that and set everything back to 0 [05:55] Hello! [05:55] DBAN may also render your HDD unusable, be careful [05:56] i installed the kubuntu desktop but after restart i dont have the desktop enabled [05:56] how to enable it? [05:56] at login, choose KDE as your session from the session manager. [05:56] spidereater: How would it do that? It just wipes over the platter, shouldn't affect functionality. [05:56] dban is what ccame up after googling. trying to figure out how to make a bootable usb drive with it. I don't have cd-drive [05:56] ok i will try [05:57] It has hosed a HDD for me before. [05:57] ntiy: change that command as necessary to point to the right device [05:58] spidereater: Strange that should happen. [05:58] ntiy: For a USB drive with Dban, get it (I assume it's an ISO) and then download unetbootin, use that to get it on the drive. [05:59] ntiy: you can re-format it to use GUID instead of MBR :D [05:59] Polah_: certainly shouldn't. HDD was probably on it's last leg. low level format causes wear and tear. now i have an issue of my own. [05:59] spidereater: What's the issue, perhaps I can help (: [05:59] my rear USB ports deactivate when my computer sleeps, and they don't wake with the computer. This leaves me with no keyboard until reboot. [05:59] Started when I installed natty a week ago. Checked BIOS, no luck. [05:59] spidereater: Might be a BIOS issue. [05:59] how long will it takes for 3.0.0 kernel to trickle to ubuntu? :) [06:00] spidereater: Apparently not. Hibernate or suspend? [06:00] HOW CAN I BE A CHANEL OPERATOR [06:00] Sterist: A long time after 12.04 and probably 12.10 [06:00] thats what i thought. works in any distro not based on natty, BIOS settings are fine.. [06:00] ok. dd worked. now I have "No bootable device -- insert a boot disk and press any key" [06:00] just what I need [06:00] how can i be a channel operator [06:00] thanks [06:01] suspend [06:01] ntiy: Correct. There is no absolutely no boot information on the disk, it's nulled. [06:01] it's a desktop [06:01] the tittle bar, icons and other visual effects turns into traditional type sometimes.......... any help? [06:01] Daniel-Alone: You need to be a super cool guy [06:01] Gul: What are you using? Unity? [06:01] !canibeanop > DANIEL-ALONE [06:01] DANIEL-ALONE, please see my private message [06:01] Polah_: not true, I'm not cool or super ;( [06:01] Polah_: yup! [06:01] so I guess output of /dev/null was written to hdd, correct? [06:01] and what is /dev/null? [06:02] ntiy: A black hole. [06:02] ntiy: It does what it says on the tin, it is null. It gives no output and anything that goes into it becomes null. [06:02] ntiy: /dev/null is a "device" that is essentially a sink for information [06:02] lol. I defended masters on black holes, but I dont understand analogy ^) [06:03] Polah_: there? [06:03] /dev/null is where my girlfriend takes my money to [06:03] ntiy: Once something goes there, nothing comes back out. Like I said, its output is null [06:03] ntiy: It's your trashcan for data :) [06:03] ntiy: well, you know how information gets lost at the event horizon? it's like that, only no hawking radiation [06:03] in other words, hdd has nothing on it? [06:03] gul: Hmm, I've no experience with Unity. Perhaps someone else can help. Sorry. [06:04] not even a junk? [06:04] ntiy: No, your first 446 or 512 bytes, i.e. your MBR or MBR and partition table now have no data. [06:04] hi all. i have installed a new CA certificate in /etc/ssl/certs. i have a Debian 5 system on which this has worked. on Ubuntu, this isn't working. strace curl shows me that it is opening the correct CA certificate file, but it is rejecting the authenticity of the server. massive wtf here. i have the same PEM formatted CA cert installed on two different systems. one works. one doesn't. WTF [06:04] ntiy: i joke, it's not really like a black hole at all, it's just a file that can be written to, but has nothing in it, and things written to it are discarded [06:04] tensorpudding, I hope it's not a black hole. I don't need it arbitrarily sucking in data when it wants, emitting radiation and getting larger by itself with no usable output [06:05] tensorpudding: yea I know. I am just trying to continue your joke :) Sorry gor being jerk )) [06:05] the tittle bar, icons and other visual effects turns into traditional type sometimes.......... any help? Using Unity [06:05] how can i write a bot [06:05] Polah_, lol [06:05] DANIEL-ALONE, define your context. [06:05] Now, I was supposed to help someone up there and got sidetracked. Who were you? [06:05] me me me [06:05] Ah, spidereater. Suspension issues [06:05] DANIEL-ALONE: there's a lot of guides for writing IRC bots, for a variety of programming languages and purposes [06:05] :) [06:06] If it's not a BIOS issue and you're sure, then it could be the way your system is shutting down [06:06] thanks guys [06:06] i've read of a similar issue years ago, but can't fing the thread now. the solution was a simple script placed somewhere [06:06] find* [06:06] i want to write a bot in c++ [06:07] DANIEL-ALONE, another language would be easier [06:07] There's suspend, where most everything is turned off apart from RAM where the state is stored. Hibernate, where state is saved to disk and everything is totally off. Then there's hybrid which is a mix of the two [06:07] but maybe you already have some C++ class for implementing IRC clients [06:07] I imagine your typical suspend is just doing suspend, try running pm-suspend-hybrid and see if that still supplies power to your USB ports. [06:07] Is there a way to make the unity menu always on top? [06:08] which one? [06:08] gnome power management calls it sleep [06:08] DANIEL-ALONE, which one what? [06:08] DANIEL-ALONE: ubottu (supybot) is written in python. I've used perl to do it in the past. [06:08] DANIEL-ALONE, for IRC, possibly python. I'm no expert on that [06:08] !botclone [06:08] ubottu uses supybot, which is available in the main !repositories, with additional plugins that are available at http://ubottu.com/clone.html - to help out with ubottu development please join #ubuntu-bots-devel :) [06:08] or perl, yeah [06:08] you can even do it in Javascript these days [06:08] ;) [06:09] spidereater: Mm, that's probably just normal suspend. try hybrid like I said, just run the command pm-suspend-hybrid with a sudo and it should do it [06:09] anyone know anything about auth password or keyring for gwibber? [06:10] MK``, are you there? [06:10] yes Polah_ [06:10] what's up? [06:10] I want to create a tar archive and put two directories into it, I'm having some trouble finding the correct tar syntax, can someone help me? [06:10] olskolirc, I'd assume the keyring stores the passwords you'd have for whatever accounts you use [06:11] yeah and it won't let me in [06:11] maahes: What compression, if any? gzip, xz, bzip2? [06:11] im thinking it like kdewallet just give it one and it won't let me do anything with it [06:11] tnx alot [06:11] MK``, before you said GUID could be used instead of MBR. How would that work? The MBR is a physical part of the disk where boot information is stored, isn't GUID an identifier like UUID? [06:12] Polah_: gzip [06:12] Polah_: it's a partition system made to replace MBR, since MBR only allows a maximum partition size of 2 TiB. [06:12] https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table [06:12] maahes: tar -czpf .tar.gz should do it === harry is now known as Guest7984 [06:14] bah, because my disk is borked it thinks I have no space left [06:14] Mk``: Ah, Google just took me to GUID, not that page. Interesting to know. [06:15] there we go, thanks Polah_ :) [06:15] maahes, not a problem (: [06:16] once 2 TB HDDs start becoming commonplace, that'll become more common. [06:17] it also allows a theoretically infinite number of primary partitions, making extended ones obsolete. I think there is a practical limit of 127 on Windows [06:17] who was just helping me? === openshell is now known as code [06:17] MK``: Isn't the limit 4 primary partitions? [06:17] MK``: who needs that many? [06:18] pylix: A person that wants to mount every directory on a separate partition each? [06:18] Hi, I need help with XModMap - need to add øØ to my keyboard...somewhere. [06:18] oh hi Polah, hybrid sleep also kills my USB [06:18] Polah_ : only for MBR! [06:18] Polah_: what advantage do you gain doing it that way? [06:18] MK``: Fair dos. [06:19] pylix: None at all, but there's a lot of crazy people out there. [06:19] right [06:19] Spidereater: I'm sure it's a BIOS issue then. Have a look through all your power options in there. [06:19] everyone: try XFS for your root partition. snappier than Ext [06:20] when i buy a Mac; I'm gonna try and quad-boot. they use intel processors now so it should work [06:20] pylix: Why would it not work? You'd only be loading one operating system at once... [06:20] I have a tri-boot going for me now. with windows 7 windows xp and Linux [06:21] there's probably a kernel parameter i could pass to fix it. [06:21] how to install font "Old English Text MT"? [06:21] Processor shouldn't affect the number of OSes you could have installed. [06:21] any good distro that will go straight to a terminal? [06:21] You should be able to install as many operating systems as you want, within the limits of partition tables [06:21] Polah_: i heard the older macs hardware didn't support it [06:21] mattk: Minimal Ubuntu. The ISO is about 12MB. [06:21] I tried it [06:22] Polah_: didn't work for me [06:22] Pylix: Don't see how it'd be an issue beyond the number of partitions you can have on your drives... [06:22] Polah_: I was probably misinformed. [06:22] archlinux [06:22] vpark: http://www.azfonts.net/load_font/1196770863_oldengl.html [06:22] Pylix: Or something like GRUB only listing a limited amount [06:22] ls [06:23] Polah_: I'm suprised steve jobs didn't try a lockout on his machines [06:23] mattk: You did it wrong then. You can install normal Ubuntu and use Ctrl+Alt+F1-6 to open up various ttys for cli input rather than gui [06:23] vpark: i just installed it. double click the font file, in font viewer click "install font" === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [06:24] Indeed. I really dislike Steve Jobs just because of the way he acts sometimes. [06:25] pyrlix: Why are you getting a Mac anyway? Any particular reason? [06:26] Polah_: LED screen and i want to do some osx dev [06:26] pylix: LED screen. I see how that's a good reason to spend a exorbitant amount of money on a computer [06:26] hey guys. Im an extreme noob to linux and i have no idea what im doing [06:26] iv had it for 3 days [06:27] dantheman73: How can we help you [06:27] and iv been trying desperatley to just get my ipod working [06:27] but i just dont know how [06:27] and yes iv followed all the links [06:27] iv gone to all the support forums [06:27] everything [06:27] Pylix: I'm building a fairly high end server for half the price of their cheapest iMac. It's horrible. [06:27] your building a server? thats awesome man good for you [06:27] dantheman73, Banshee has a little built in plugin to manage your iPod. I can't tell you how it works because I don't use it, but it's there. [06:28] Thanks [06:28] Polah_: I know it's a ripoff i do. I've always hated macs the only thing i've ever liked about apple were some of their ipods === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [06:28] dancek: are you using banshee? do you havethe ipod package installed? [06:28] haha fair enough. and alright iv heard about a banshee plugin i guess il just google it or something. i have an ipod touch 4th generation...does that make a difference? [06:28] pylix: iPods are good, but their laptops and iMacs are so overpriced. Steve Job's huge denial complex is horrible as well. [06:29] I am using Ubuntu 11.04. I am using anti-glare screen on my monitor. As a result, I am unable to see the "panel" on top. Can I bring it down? [06:29] dantheman73: search for "ipod" in synaptic. install ipod and try gtkpod [06:29] dantheman73: Go to your sound menu, or Applications > Sound & Video, start up Banshee. Go to Edit > Preferences > Extensions, look for "Apple Devices Support" and make sure it's enabled. [06:29] and no i dont think im using that ipod package...which brings me to another issue. EVERYTIME (like, literally, EVERY TIME) i try and download something, i get an error message saying "package dependencies cannot be resolved" [06:29] After that there'll be a bit on the left sidebar that lets you manage it, I think [06:30] spidereater: Thanks. but after installation it's not seen in open offivce I've also [06:30] ok thanks guys im gonna go and try that right now [06:30] spidereater: Thanks. but after installation it's not seen in open office. [06:30] Logan_: Thanks. but after installation it's not seen in open office. [06:31] vpark: Did you restart OpenOffice.org? [06:31] make sure to restart openoffice. [06:31] oops [06:31] txx28: You can move that panel to any side of your screen. Right click > Properties: Orientation [06:31] ahhhhhhhh lol [06:32] open office is another one of those programs...everytime i try and download something (like, literally anything and everything) i get this error mesage "package dependencies cannot be resolved" [06:32] OK I will try it now [06:32] its like the ubuntu software center is pratically useless [06:32] How can I know my file is being processed on which core processor. [06:32] yes, it is useless [06:32] try synaptic [06:32] Polah_: it's economics really. people are willing for whatever reason to pay these insane prices so they stay high; much like gibson guitars. it's just a luxury for me i can't find a pc that looks classy. i liked the asus bamboo though. I once had a powerbook 4 many years ago. I kinda miss those days [06:32] how do I get unity back? I had it on the live cd but after installing its gone [06:33] Logan_: ya that was the problem. Thanks friend. [06:33] vpark: you're welcome :) [06:33] gskellig: When you login, at the bottom select "Ubuntu" on the right-most menu. [06:33] ok no more offtopic for me [06:33] when I login I use "ubuntu" not "ubuntu-classic" [06:33] gskellig: you have 11.04? are you choosing the Ubuntu session instead of Ubuntu Classic [06:33] I'm on 11.04 and I'm NOT logging in with classic [06:33] Why does sshd use about 30-45% of the CPU during transfers of SCP or SFTP ? [06:33] gskellig: what happens? [06:33] normal gnome starts [06:33] thats what happens [06:33] =/ [06:33] ok il try synaptic right now..thanks so much spider & poolah i really appreciate your help [06:34] Name141: It needs to encrypt all the data as it sends it? [06:35] Polah_: I'm assuming so [06:36] SCREENSAVER 3D http://searchforhuman.com/index-08.html [06:36] Name141: I can't think of any other reason as to why it would be that high otherwise. [06:36] How can I know my file is being processed on which core processor. [06:36] any ideas? for my unity issue? [06:37] sunil_: taskset -p PID [06:37] gskellig: None. Sorry. [06:38] =\ [06:38] Polah_: did they remove --fix-broken ferom apt-get? it's not working for me now. [06:38] Polah_: Thanx, let me try this [06:38] from* [06:38] spidereater: No idea. [06:39] you guys know good personal code versioning apps for linux? something where I wouldn't have to connect to a server? [06:39] I could get git or cvs, but I don't wanna spend more time configuring than coding.. [06:40] Polah_: I got the "pid 4717's current affinity mask: 3" It is not clear to me what this mean. === code is now known as openshell [06:43] sunil_: I think it's the way it's identified. Are you on a dual-core? [06:44] Polah_: yes, [06:44] then 3 is the hyperthreat core of core one ;) [06:44] Polah_: its centrino duo, is it same as dual-core [06:45] sunil_: I'd imagine processor #0 is 1, processor #1 is 2, so 1+2 = 3 [06:45] Just a guess though [06:45] Polah_: that means it is equally distributed across two core. [06:46] sunil_: No, only one core will be processing the thread unless the program is multi-threated [06:46] That checks affinity and determines which cores it can run on [06:47] Polah_: Actually, I am running a script a.sh which runs 10 instance of b.sh, but I am not getting the performance. So, can you guide me where the problem lies. [06:48] sunil_: No. Sorry. [06:48] Polah_: have you any idea about running a shell script as multithreaded. [06:48] sunil_: No. [06:49] lame question but im not sure how to search irc for a channel, is there a channel on freenode for virtualbox? [06:49] Polah_: ok, anyways thanx for giving me your precious time. [06:49] if i downloaded some custom icons...whats the control panel to change that in Unity? [06:49] tx0105: Icons for what? [06:50] sunil_ check http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/blog/?p=9 [06:50] ;-) [06:50] any recommendations on PCB software? [06:50] tx0105: If you select any launcher and edit its properties, you can change the icon by clicking the icon at the left of the properties window and navigating to the image you want to use [06:50] HaerdenC: Thanx, I am reading the link, may be this will help me out. [06:51] neil_: PCB Designer (pcb) or Eagle maybe [06:51] y esto q es o pa q es??? [06:52] !es | Danirl [06:52] Danirl: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [06:52] I know this isn't directly ubuntu related, but does anyone know how to make mplayer play files within a directory mplayer -r "directory" doesn't do the trick [06:52] Polah_, have you used ether? [06:53] neil_: Nope. Give them a try though. [06:54] HaerdenC: I am not able to decide, how can I use xarg with my script. [06:54] (space-brain) has forgotten the PDF reader (can copy text in it too) that is someting like --- wll IDN evite>? I want to use it. I installed it [06:55] HaerdenC: did you understand my problem. [06:55] How can I get a list of all installed by me programs? Can I? [06:55] paul__ Edit your mplayer.conf file scroll to the bottom where it says allow directory play = 0 change that to a 1 pretty sure that will fix the issue :D [06:55] Polah_, I will have a look thanks. [06:55] how do I get unity back? I had it on the live cd but after installing its gone [06:55] when I login i choose "ubuntu" not "ubuntu classic" [06:55] if my disk shows 11789.5GB in fdisk -l shouldn't then the physical volume be bigger then 10.72 ? [06:55] sunil_ it was just something I found on google :) no idea on how to implement however it shows it is possible [06:55] what is the ubuntu chat forum? [06:55] tb [06:56] gskellig are you graphics drivers installed ? unity will not work if you have classical drivers [06:56] HaerdenC: ok, thanx for google to help me. [06:56] neil_, #ubuntu-offtopic [06:57] tripelb, thanks [06:57] (space-brain) has forgotten the PDF reader (can copy text in it too) that is someting like --- wll IDN evite>? I want to use it. I installed it ---- this is important, someone else wants a NOT adobe pdf program. [06:58] HaerdenC, graphics drivers are installed, it's an integrated intel graphics card [06:58] it worked perfectly on the livecd [06:58] how to open/mount/burn sparseimages ? [06:58] but after installing it wont load [06:58] 0 [06:59] pkyes === joel is now known as Guest38565 [07:00] Evince (the included PDF reader in Ubuntu) --- it's included in a repository sudo apt-get install evince worked for me [07:01] every time I log in, I get a blank gnome-terminal running 'orca'. what's running it, and how can I stop it? [07:01] hi everyone! [07:02] gskellig this might be due to an update ... did you check the option download and install updates during installation ? [07:02] dooglus, go to startup programs and remove it from the list [07:02] gskellig check this for more info http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1679795 [07:02] raju: it's not on the list [07:02] i'm trying to get 11.04 working on a desktop computer with an ati radeon 4650 graphics card. It runs, but very very slowly [07:02] zykes-: Please repeat that question? You are trying to know the whereabouts of a vanished gigabyte? [07:02] running glx gears yeilds about 400 FPS [07:03] dooglus, i am done dear sorry i am upto this [07:03] this is after installing the proprietary drivers... anyone else experiencing this? [07:03] raju: no problem [07:03] yeah [07:03] before installing the proprietary drivers, performance was still bad. [07:03] gskellig first thing I would try is sudo unity --reset and do a reboot [07:03] josephnexus_1: That is normal [07:03] yeah i did [07:03] i checked install updates during install [07:03] And, BTW, how you enjoying the Nexus One phone? I love mine [07:04] how to open/mount/burn sparseimages ? Any help? [07:04] RevSpecies116: in my reading, i've seen that I should be able to get about 4000 FPS in GLX Gears [07:04] is something not configured properly? [07:04] I see I have a file /etc/xdg/autostart/orca-autostart.desktop.dpkg-new and wonder if that's related [07:05] josephnexus_1: Perfectly normal - and not to worry, human eyes can't tell the difference between 400 or 4000 FPS [07:05] except that unity runs at about 10 FPS [07:05] josephnexus_1: Unity runs that bad with the proprietary drivers? [07:05] it is on my machine [07:05] that's why I'm asking [07:06] :-P [07:06] 10FPS for Unity IS bad [07:07] my other desktop gets about 8200 FPS with GLXgears and of course runs unity well (it is on an nvidia grpahics card) [07:07] josephnexus_1: See this link for an unbiased benchmarking - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_managers1&num=1 [07:07] It depends on the Graphics driver, unfortunately :( [07:07] considering the integrated chipset that this motherboard had was getting about the same framerate, I suspect something is wrong. [07:08] if you search on google for unity slow on ati ... you will finde several bugs + fixes ;) [07:08] i tried running in classic mode [07:08] still had poor framerates in any games and what not [07:08] seems like some ati cards have this issue ;) [07:08] Hey guys could anyone please tell me how to locate my windows folder. i had an error installing directx after being prompted to by POL and it told me to look there to determine the problem, anyhelp is greatly appreciated :D thanks! [07:08] i figured as much, i'm going to try to spin up a fedora disk and see if that performs any differently [07:09] speeqs: ~/.wine/drive_c [07:09] RevSpecies116: If fedora performs better I guess I just file a bug report? [07:10] thank you :) [07:10] josephnexus_1: yes, that is the best course of action. [07:10] speeqs: no problem [07:10] The more bugs/issues that are raised, the better progress on 11.04, 11.10, and 12.04 will happen [07:10] in regards to unity [07:10] RevSpecies116: yeah, i really like ubuntu... it's just issues like this that need the occasional squashing [07:10] :-P [07:11] And I want Unity running like perfection by the time 12.04LTS comes around... [07:11] RevSpecies116: the issue isn't just unity [07:11] it looks like all opengl apps perform very very poorly [07:11] at least on this card... [07:12] supertuxcart barely runs... [07:12] and this card (the 4650) should be quite powerful [07:13] bummer - the 4650 should be very good [07:13] yes it should [07:13] alas, it mocks me [07:13] it is the agp version [07:13] which i know is a bottleneck [07:13] but should still run great [07:13] unless there is something special I have to do for AGP goodness? [07:14] Unity is not like running a #D intensive game, so AGP for Unity/Compiz is a non-issue [07:14] Yet here we are.... :( [07:14] #D = 3D [07:14] #D = C#, but more advanced, and coded backwards [07:14] :-P [07:14] And not controled by Balmer, one hopes ;) [07:15] :P [07:15] bug 1 :) [07:15] here someone has the same issue http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=45823 [07:15] Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [07:15] ubuntu runs fine with with Intel motherboard + intel processor or with amd +asus motherboard ???? [07:16] without driver issues [07:16] RevSpecies116: the driver ubuntu suggests is from 2009? [07:16] that seems a little... dated... [07:16] lucky105: Good question [07:17] lucky105 yes both work fine ... I hava an amd x2 5600 black edition on an Asus m2n-e sli :) with nvidia graphics [07:17] josephnexus_1: That is dated. You are on 11.04? AMD dropped all kinds of support for X-Server with Catalyst 11.5 [07:17] i am on 11.04 [07:17] installed what it suggested in the gtk-jockey of power === AvT is now known as Guest45907 [07:20] HaerdenC : I actually hesitate from nvidia ..... there r some issues with nvidia........as I googled... [07:21] does anybody here use conky? [07:21] lucky105: More issues with ATI tbh [07:21] i just installed the package and I can't find the config file [07:21] Checking on the AMD website [07:21] tx0105: Should be ~/.conkyrc, no? [07:21] lucky105 nvidia is very well supported on linux ... I had several cards all worked well ;) [07:22] my 2 nvidia workstations are happy [07:22] it's this ati one that is mocking me [07:22] apparently ati doesn't list Linux as an OS on their driver download site [07:22] yes ati and linux is not a very good choice :) [07:22] theadmin I just checked in my /home folder....no .conky folder or .conkyrc [07:22] should it show up when you install the package [07:23] tx0105 and in /etc ? [07:23] josephnexus_1: it doesn't - I can't find it there either ;) [07:23] thanx ... some relief ...... now I can buy [07:23] i found it [07:23] tx0105: It's not in /home, it's in /home/whateveryourusernameis [07:23] you have to do an "advanced" search [07:23] eww [07:24] 71 MB for a graphics card driver [07:24] it's downloading [07:24] but I think the one that is packaged with 11.04 is exceptionally old [07:24] hopefully installing this one fixes the issue [07:24] if not, I have fedora downloading [07:24] tx0105 there is a #conky support chan over here :) [07:24] and if fedora runs better, I file a bug report [07:24] if fedora runs the same [07:24] thanks i'll check it out [07:24] i file the graphics card in the trash [07:24] josephnexus_1: Fedora? Eww. Honestly, Fedora is annoyingly unstable. [07:25] how to open/mount/burn sparseimages ? Any help? [07:25] theadmin: it's for testing a specific issue i'm hitting === tasslehoff is now known as Guest4706 [07:25] josephnexus_1 another option ... remove the ati card and install a cheap nvidia :) [07:25] HaerdenC: my budget is shot [07:25] :-P [07:25] josephnexus_1: http://digitizor.com/2011/05/31/ati-catalyst-11-5-fglrx-8-5-ubuntu-11-04/ [07:25] That link may help [07:26] gul [07:26] Gives download locations of 11.5 for linux [07:26] is it possible to create a parition from an existing one using cfdisk? [07:26] gul you need to install AcetoneISO ;) [07:26] I changed the sensitivity for my touchpad driver in xorg.conf. Can I just reload the module for it to take effect? [07:26] nexace: Not sure if cfdisk can resize partitions. [07:26] nexace: Think it could [07:26] RevSpecies116: i saw that.... i think i found that using the advanced search on the ati site [07:26] Guest4706: I think you need to restart X [07:26] HaerdenC: AcetoneISO is not able to handle sparseimages [07:27] theadmin: i will attempt to google with 'resize' [07:28] my sparse image knowledge is rather sparse [07:28] ... [07:28] theadmin: ok [07:28] nexace: You'd probably need to use a LiveCD, anyway, since you can't really operate with used partitions. [07:28] josephnexus_1: :) [07:28] theadmin: ok, thank you [07:28] josephnexus_1: I trust the following link better, as the linked site I have used before - all the way back with 8.04 :) http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide [07:29] That is a detailed breakdown of both the proprietroy and OSS AMD/ATi drivers [07:30] gul what you could do is use wine + windows program that can open them ... i supose there are more windows tools that would probably do this without a problem ... not a perfect solution however if you can use it as a work around or convert it to for example an iso ... you problem is solved [07:31] HaerdenC: tried transmac and macdrive both............ trnsmac can open it but no burning or mounting......... macdrive can only explore [07:32] how do i configure ftp to run as root .. I'm on 10.10 [07:32] I'm unable to connect as root [07:32] what kind of ftp server do you use ? === Noob`s is now known as McPeter [07:32] ftpd [07:33] anybody? anything ? anyscript,software / package for sparseimages? [07:33] !helpme | gul [07:33] gul: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [07:34] rkhshm: are you running ftpd through inetd? you should just install vsftpd [07:34] rkhshm in the /etc folder you will find the ftpd.conf file or in a subfolder [07:34] edit it [07:34] HaerdenC: no fixed it.. /etc/ftpusers [07:34] oooooooooooo [07:34] uncomment 'root' there and it works.. thank you.. [07:34] But now though I need to know how i can pass without having to enter the password. [07:35] ok cool :) didn't know that [07:35] becuase I'm performing some test on ftp and i dont want to enter password eachtime [07:35] why would you do that rkhshm ??? [07:35] rkhshm: that is going to be a huge hassel [07:35] nexace: why.. [07:35] you can create a small script called loginftp.sh that does the command with user and pass ... chmod to execute [07:37] are there cmd line options for specifying uname and passwd btw? [07:37] for ftop [07:37] ftp [07:37] pipe with echo [07:38] $FTP -n $FTPS < quote USER $FTPU [07:38] quote PASS $FTPP [07:38] $ftps -> server u -> user p -> pass :-) [07:39] here we go... the ati driver is installing [07:39] * josephnexus_1 crosses his fingers [07:39] good day y'all [07:39] Hello, TbHack [07:40] using 10.10. used to connect to LAN thru cable before re-installation. Not getting connected now. The connection is working for other laptops. Restarting does not help. pl help.:) [07:40] hello theadmin, what's new today? [07:40] vpark: Is the connection listed in NetworkManager? Does "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" work? [07:40] TbHack: Meh, only boredom xD [07:40] let me see [07:40] how to open/mount/burn sparseimages ? tried Transmac & Macdrive but no help. [07:40] theadmin: how boring?!! [07:41] rkhshm, maybe sftp can work with ssh keys [07:41] don't you have to work or study, theadmin? [07:41] josephnexus_1: Crossing my toes too [07:41] ;) [07:41] lol [07:41] :P [07:41] TbHack: Yes, but that's boring ;D [07:42] RevSpecies116: dang... this package build step is taking forever [07:42] probably due to this being on a celeron [07:43] * josephnexus_1 wishes that one could have applets in unity. [07:44] josephnexus_1: If that makes you feel better, you can't have them in gnome anymore either [07:45] theadmin: connection is listed as Wired connection 1 and sudo ifconfig eth0 up executes but no o/p [07:45] theadmin: i know, it's totally tragic [07:45] i might have to hop over to kde [07:46] vpark: Well, does bringing the connection up via nm work? [07:46] is there any way to search for the text that is generated in the terminal? [07:46] josephnexus_1: Do that. [07:46] ksinkar: blahblah | grep -i "text" [07:46] i'm rather liking unity though.... [07:47] actually i've deleted the existing 1 and recreated a new. how should i bring it up [07:47] vpark: Srsly? Click the NM icon in tray and then choose the connection [07:48] * josephnexus_1 sees that the system is going down for a reboot NOW!

[07:48] theadmin: not that [07:48] RevSpecies116: no reason to become a contortionist over this [07:48] ksinkar: Then explain better [07:48] :-p [07:48] ;) LOL [07:49] theadmin: the bash has thrown a lot of text at me while i am runnning a command [07:49] theadmin: a newb ! [07:49] now i want to search that text that has been thrown at me [07:49] theadmin: sorry, it dsnt work [07:49] but there is a way using the .netrc file right.. anyone has idea about that.. coz i'm not able to get that working [07:49] ksinkar: use a pipe [07:49] :-P [07:49] is anyone of advanced linux architectural knowledge willing to discuss a very unusual idea? [07:49] hello [07:50] vpark: Okay, that's weird. Honestly, my suggestion is this: don't use ubuntu xDD [07:50] nexace: If it's an Ubuntu support question then just ask it. [07:50] h [07:50] Jordan_U: its not [07:50] nexace: Then this is the wrong channel. [07:51] theadmin: what's xDD [07:51] try #ubuntu-offtopic [07:51] RevSpecies116: performance is the same... or worse [07:51] vpark: Just a smiley, whatever, I was mostly kidding [07:51] i guess it's now time to test w/ fedora... but that can wait... late here, and I have work tomorrow [07:51] I want to use a stronger word than bummer at this point, josephnexus_1 :( [07:51] it's aight [07:51] i will survive [07:51] :-P [07:51] :) [07:52] even if I can't play minecraft on this machine :-( [07:52] Survive till at least 12.04LTS ;) [07:52] well, i'll try some other distros and compare what's out there. [07:52] Sleep well, josephnexus_1 [07:52] can someone suggest me one irc chat client for mac osx 10.6 [07:52] ? [07:52] theadmin: anyway than!x [07:52] 12.04? [07:52] adwait_neo: Wrong channel. [07:52] what? [07:52] i mean thanx [07:53] adwait_neo: install ubuntu, there is a chat client included [07:53] frankin, in April 2012, 12.04LTS will be released [07:53] adwait_neo :-) wrong chan [07:53] welll... good night everyone~ [07:53] I ONLY use the LTS releases, so I'm on 10.04LTS [07:53] adwait_neo: But seriously, irssi ftw [07:53] I'm on 10.10 [07:54] i use ubuntu 11.04 and its like my gf now :) [07:54] adwait_neo: ...How is that? xD [07:54] loving the all new superb experience :) [07:55] I want Unity backported to 10.04LTS - I want the love of Unity [07:55] how to open/mount/burn sparseimages ? tried Transmac & Macdrive but no help. [07:55] adwait_neo: You like Unity? [07:55] yeah [07:56] Seems like it's harder / takes longer to find apps [07:56] and i am now going to contribute to this community :) [07:56] Let me tell you: Shuttleworth has it right with Unity on the left [or right]. My friend has a disgusting iMac, and SHE has put her dock on the left for the very reason Shuttleworth mentions - Need more vertical space [07:56] She didn't know about that Ubuntu feature till I mentioned it to her this morning [07:57] LoL [07:57] josephoenix: using a pipe to grep can help only if the process is that is throwing output has finished its job [07:57] I also really like unity ... the switch was hard and in the beginning it was not very productive for me ... however ... after some time i see the advantages only the startmenu thing s***s they should just give you the option to get a "classic" menu [07:57] anyone have any idea why when I upgraded a netbook running the Ubuntu Netbook Edition to 11.04 it finished the upgrade, said restart and now just loads to a blank page [07:57] Yeah, moving panels / docks to the side is a good idea. I did that on my Win7 box because it is amenable to that now (of course, I installed over Win7 :) [07:57] josephoenix: what if it still is running [07:57] * theadmin doesn't have any panels [07:58] <-- Loves the idea of Unity [07:58] dspace - just a small learning curve [07:58] :) [07:58] i <3 Uboooooontu :) [07:58] josephoenix: what if i have just done a lot of shelling and then i want to search for a word in the output particular command that i had typed some three hours ago without squinting through the whole code? [07:58] I got used to the close/min/max on the left almost immediatly [07:59] And can use both Windows and Ubuntu without any slowdown [07:59] There were a lot of things I didn't like about it. The global menu, which puts all the menu items far away from the window. The fact that it's *invisible* until you move your mouse over it, which wastes time unless you memorize the location of every menu [07:59] yeah however that is just MAC style :-) [07:59] ksinkar: Impossible. It's not stored anywhere. [07:59] adwait_neo: Loving the Ubuntu too :) [07:59] great :) [07:59] yes the menu just is ... flashy crap :) they just should have given you the choice for the flashy menu and a classic form [07:59] The lens, which takes more time to find apps untless you type them out (not good for accessibility) [08:00] theadmin: what is your opinion about screen? [08:00] has anyone here experience with LSI Raid controllers? [08:00] ksinkar: screen is meh. tmux rules [08:00] yes i have an lsi in 2 debian servers :) [08:00] scsi :) === dipstick|away is now known as dipstick [08:02] Hey, I have installed proftpd as a service managed by inetd. How do I stop the ftp service? [08:03] HaerdenC: you ever had a problem that a controller was only recognized every now and then? I have to unplug the battery every few starts to make ti work :( [08:03] well semi work [08:03] Licenser nopes always working however the servers are not rebooted the last 700 days :) [08:03] Licenser put it into another card slot, if it does the same thing, replace it [08:04] we use them as dns :) [08:04] after adding the .netrc with credentials if you execute ftp -n it works [08:04] withouth passwd [08:06] HaerdenC, remember me? unity still not working, I tried unity --reset and also tried that link you showed me, although it looked like it was fixed and a simple upgrade would fix it. The problem was from back in Feb, before the final release. [08:06] ksinkar: How tmux looks, basically (bottom bar is something unique, helps really): http://i.imm.io/64K7.png [08:06] How do I configure an application in /etc/init.d to not start at startup? [08:07] hi. How can I sniff data incoming in /dev/video0 ? [08:07] anirudhr, remove it? or comment it out of rc.local [08:07] anirudhr: chmod -x /etc/init.d/lolapp [08:07] listne to theadmin, not me. [08:07] I dont know what im talking about [08:08] Dulak: yes I feared it to be a HW issue :( I was just hoping there is smewhere a hidden jumper that I can swtich from 'act wired' to 'work properly' [08:08] Licenser: it could be a faulty connection in the card slot, I've had that happen before, which is why I suggested swapping slots [08:09] gskellig: It does not have an entry in rc.local. I think theadmin 's solution is best. Dang, I wish there were a more elegant way to do it. :D [08:09] Dulak: *nods* sadly that was my first take too :) [08:09] didn't help [08:10] anirudhr, yeah i told him to listen to theadmin =P [08:10] told you* not him* [08:10] =P [08:10] anirudhr: sudo update-rc.d servicename stop 80 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 . [08:10] Hi. I have a problem with phpmyadmin. Can you help me? [08:10] you could always rename it =/ [08:10] Dulak: How is that more elegant :/ [08:11] it's correct [08:11] i dont really know how init.d works [08:11] Dulak: What are the numbers there? [08:11] so I was just taking a shot int he dark =P [08:11] Meh, I like Arch's rc.d. Clean and simple. [08:11] archlinux? [08:11] gskellig: Yah [08:11] 80 is the order you want it to stop, 1-99 being the options, the other numbers are the runlevels you want it to be stopped for, I listed them all [08:11] meh [08:12] anybody want to help me with my unity issue/ [08:12] Dulak: Ah okay, cool. [08:12] gskellig: What is the issue? [08:12] it wont start =/ [08:12] it worked fine on the live cd [08:12] i choose "ubuntu" on login not classic [08:12] gskellig: I'm just curious, I am still on Lucid. I'm not liking the Unity jazz. [08:12] I have enabled the "AllowNoPassword" but it still wants me to enter a password to login and thus I cannot login because I have changed my password to "" [08:13] unity works well with my small, widescreen monitor [08:13] gskellig: Try running unity --replace in a terminal and see if it gives you error messages? [08:13] gskellig: Rather, "unity --replace &disown" so you can close the terminal later :D [08:13] gskellig: Are you able to run metacity? [08:13] buncha errors [08:13] it tries to run [08:14] Hey unity is extremely mind mixing. Is there a way to have a theme like maverik? [08:14] gskellig: what kind of video chip do you have? [08:14] Window created on XQueryTree, map state isViewable? 0 [08:14] like 20 times [08:14] EastDallas, two actually. the nvidia geforce g210M is disabled [08:14] an intel on board one [08:15] hold on [08:15] Why is the geforce disabled? I imagine it would do a better job of supporting unity [08:15] " Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [08:15] " [08:15] because it eats battery life [08:15] unity worked fine on the intel one before [08:15] how can i run package manager, on console [08:15] command line? [08:15] so did HD video =/ [08:16] Klavier: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/en/man8/apt-get.8.html [08:17] I just installed Natty on 2 pcs...I can only run gnome classic on the one with intel onboard video, but it runs fine on the one with an older ATI card....that's with the generic drivers [08:17] but I was running unity fine for awhile on the livecd [08:17] it was lightning fast [08:17] hello everyone this is my first time using XChat [08:17] Klavier - you mean apt-get? [08:17] With the geforce card disabled? [08:17] yep [08:18] what ubuntu does with my laptop is [08:18] That's my gut.... [08:18] Klavier: sudo apt-get install [08:18] it recognizes both graphics cards, and turns both on, but only uses the intel one [08:18] nvidia one just eats power, unless you go into BIOS and turn OFF the intel one [08:18] Have you installed the proprietary drivers for the geforce card? [08:18] nope, if i do that it'll try to use the nvidia card and intel one at the same time, and fail [08:19] theres quite a bit of documentation of the dual graphics cards on this laptop [08:19] nothing on unity though =( [08:19] There's a reason laptop manufacturers include the nvidia chip even though they are forced to have the intel graphics. The intel graphics are weak. [08:19] i want to add repo [08:19] ppa:markus-tisoft/rt3090 [08:19] theres actually a laptop exactly like mine without the nvidia chip [08:20] Klavier: Ah. sudo add-apt-repository "ppa:markus-tisoft/rt3090" [08:20] but yeah i agree, the intel graphics are weak [08:20] okay [08:20] I would disable the intel graphics and... [08:21] does dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg still work? [08:21] that's a general question, and I might have th command wrong. [08:21] Buth that's how you used to reconfigure the graphics from the command line. [08:21] how do you get to the c++ room? [08:22] endgame: /join #c++ I suppose. [08:22] Klavier - Ubuntu 10.04LTS+ [08:22] I would really like to have the battery savings from using the intel card instead of the nvidia one, and I know it's possible since I had it with the livecd [08:22] Actually, that is the correct command. [08:22] in the prompt box that i am typing in?? [08:22] and i had it with 11.04 wubi, before i switched to "real" ubuntu [08:22] endgame: In the same place you type messages. === dipstick is now known as dipstick|away [08:22] thank you [08:23] not worked [08:23] the command works, but nothin ghappens [08:23] i dont have command like add-apt-repository [08:23] sudo apt-add-repository [08:23] restart X or reboot [08:23] apt goes before add [08:23] ok [08:23] ? === Cain` is now known as Cain [08:24] what is this?

[08:32] no i dont have router [08:32] not even modem [08:33] strange is that at wired conections the list is empty and there shoud be eth0 [08:33] Ilea: Does "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" have any effect? [08:34] dont know but i will write this and try [08:34] Ilea: exactly how are you connecting via dsl with no router or modem? [08:34] EastDallas: Could be PPPoE [08:34] Ilea: Mine doesn't show any interfaces either unless I launch the app as sudo. [08:34] does anyone know where to find a list of the packages that are installed by default on a fresh installation of natty? [08:35] theadmin: she'd still have to have a router or some other sort of adsl interface [08:35] the cable is directlu conected to the computer [08:35] not router, modem [08:35] pedrocr: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.manifest [08:35] and i am conecting to DSL pppoe [08:35] username [08:35] pasword [08:35] from provider direct to your pc? [08:35] pedrocr: dpkg --get-selections [08:35] Ilea: ok, so you have an internal dsl modem? [08:35] yes [08:35] OK [08:35] pedrocr: That's all of the packages that make up the LiveCD image, which is more or less identical to default install. [08:35] Flannel, thanks [08:35] i have only my ethernet card [08:36] theadmin, that gives me my selections, I wanted the default ones [08:36] ilea, OK, what does the other end of the cable plug into? [08:36] pedrocr: You said it's a fresh install, so that'd be equal [08:36] no internal modem or something [08:36] Internal dsl modems are very unusual. Are you sure that's what you have? [08:36] with pclinuxos dsl works [08:36] theadmin, what I meant was "were you to do a fresh install what packages would be installed" [08:37] kernal bug at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.3.8/fs/encryptfs/crypto.c:349!

[08:39] obviously, it's something we don't have (commonly) in the US. Here, even with pppoe, you have to have a dsl modem or router with adsl wick [08:39] CokeMD: most of them require 128m, even the smallest ones [08:39] obviously I don't understand it [08:39] I'm trying to enable 2D accelrations but it's really complicated [08:39] system drops to command line like screen with lots of errors .

[09:01] I am installing it on Natty [09:01] EastDallas, 1) thanks for the free googling :D 2) I am checking the link, but I just port-scanned the router and just 80\443\netbios were open [09:01] Found it: right-click on an arbitrar PDF document, Open-with tab, select the PDF reader you like. Finish. [09:01] armour: That's not really an Ubuntu question either way [09:02] dah42: it tells you how to enable it on the web page...

Do I have pulse, and it says not to use OSS4 on the /community/OpenSound page and im thinkng about ignoring it, is that stupid. === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D === sara--- is now known as Stockholm_Angel [09:21] DJones: Thanks! Since I got that one wrong I'm probably messing up the next one too. When in grub now I add nosplash debug --verbose and hit F10. Now it starts out as verbose then goes purple and freezes [09:22] I'm trying to install sun-java-jdk and I can't get it to stop configure after running apt-get. any ideas? [09:23] ack: Sorry, I'm not that good with grub, thankfully I've not had problems myself [09:24] Having disabled X failsafe I now see on boot "Starting GNOME Display Manager [ OK ]" and the next line below is "Starting GNOME Display Manager [fail]". Manually running "sudo service gdm start" immediately returns "gdm stop/waiting" and nothing else. Any suggestions on how to get forward progress? [09:25] DJones: Ok, thanks anyway :) [09:27] How do I make sure nobody is logging on Remote Desktop and spying on me? [09:27] i am new to linux and a computer science major.. can anyone PLEASE give me some ideas to learn linux system and computer science [09:27] endgame: Start using one. [09:28] i have been programming in c++ for about 1 year now. [09:28] endgame, exactly liek Arm0ur said, while using it, try comparing it to windows [09:28] i am on a ubuntu system right now === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben [09:28] endgame, what do you wish to know? [09:28] endgame: this channel is for ubuntu support only, general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [09:29] i will try that channel [09:29] endgame: Talk with fellow users, frequent IRC, have a passion for the OS, try to sort out out mess yourselves - You'll be flying in no time ! [09:29] i was to build my own OS sometime down the road [09:29] endgame: Heh... Not too hard. [09:30] kernel bootloader and everything from the ground up [09:30] endgame: drop the discussion please [09:30] endgame: Oh. That's harder. [09:30] endgame, although I like the talk, like oCean said, this isn't the proper channel, try #Linux [09:30] but yes, making an OS from the bottom isn't easy [09:30] neither a 1 person task [09:31] wasas: Could you run boot info script as explained by ubottu and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [09:34] I'm using ubuntu in Amazon EC2 and I can't seem to install sun-java because I can't agree to the license. any suggestions? === coconutz is now known as Guest33417 [09:34] After installing updates last night boot freezes. Have managed to get some kind of boot output now and the last thing I see before the screen goes black is cups. Any ideas? [09:34] hi [09:35] where is LEMKE ? [09:35] LEMKE IS DEAD! === Phoebus_ is now known as Phoebus [09:35] slepy: do you have a support question? [09:35] guess not [09:37] i am using ubuntu 10.04 how would i set it so i would boot into terminal not booting into desktop (GUI) [09:39] endgame: You would have to edit /etc/inittab [09:40] lol, Ubuntu without a GUI is pointless [09:40] lol, Ubuntu without a GUI is a server [09:40] petrolman: Servers must be stable AFAIK. [09:40] use ubuntu lts [09:41] petrolman: Not up-to-date software then [09:41] any idea how to skip the "agree to license" part of installing sun java 6? [09:42] is there anyway to make the global menu always appear at the top, i don't care that it says i am using applicatino X, i just want to get to the menu [09:42] with dpkg-reconfigure console-data I can set the keyboard for a running session (all console based, no X), but after reboot it is reverted back, how can I set kbd language persistantly for the console? [09:42] Can't seem to get realtek sound of natty [09:42] hello is the any hacking games on ubuntu 10.04 [09:42] decape: Hm, Uplink? [09:43] theadmin, I still administrate servers with debian sarge :-) [09:43] petrolman: brave! [09:44] !runlevel | Arm0ur [09:44] Arm0ur: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [09:44] ubottu: Thanks for pointing that out [09:44] Arm0ur: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:44] where is the default keyboard language defined ? (not X, just console!) [09:45] !nox | endgame [09:45] endgame: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [09:45] phaidros: You can always add something like "setxkbmap us" in your bashrc. [09:45] Owait [09:45] *facepalm* [09:45] hey! I'm a newbee in Ubuntu 11.04 and I want to change the GNOME to Unity. How to do it? [09:45] theadmin: there is an X in your command, not having that on a noX machine :) [09:46] which darn package or setting in /etc defines the default keyboard language? [09:46] just cant find it :) [09:46] dpg-reconfigure console-data [09:47] "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" is no persistent after boot [09:48] llutz_: how to make that persistent? [09:49] dpkg-reconfigure console-setup should do [09:49] is there a way to override the "dpkg --configure -a"? [09:50] Hey if I want to backup my entire disk including partitions, what is the best way to do that. [09:50] Preferably something better/faster than DD. [09:50] llutz_: console-setup is not about keyboard, just charsets and fonts .. [09:51] was there before :) [09:51] but where in /etc is the kbd set? [09:51] must be somewhere ... [09:51] Patryk1023: you want to do what exactly? [09:52] jpverdoorn: change GNOME to Unity to have a look there === danny_ is now known as danmichel [09:53] Patryk1023: Well, if you're using Ubuntu 11.04 out of the box you should already have Unity by default [09:53] /msg NickServ identify hacksit [09:53] whoops... [09:53] yikes [09:53] haha [09:53] that sucked [09:53] Patryk1023: Do you mean you want to try GNOME Shell? [09:53] does anybody see what I am typing at least? [09:53] is there anyone use eclipse in Ubuntu... [09:53] jpverdoorn: yeah [09:53] SyL: are you typing? [09:53] phaidros: ever tried console-setup? [09:54] phaidros: I guess so. nobody was answering me, I was worried... [09:54] fahadsadah_, I m using Eclipse 3.6 [09:55] llutz_: console-setup is no command, dpkg-reconfigure console-setup lets you configure charset and console font size etc. but not the kbd language. [09:55] as I said above. [09:55] :) [09:55] Patryk1023: GNOME 3 (required to run GNOME Shell) isn't supported in Natty, and breaks Unity. I wouldn't recommend trying it, 'cause even if you get GNOME 3 to work, the results will look bad. [09:55] phaidros: dpkg-reconfigure console-setup is what i meant. it asks for kbd-layout and language [09:55] llutz_: "dpkg-reconfoigure console-data" does the job, but not persistend after reboot .. [09:56] at least here with 10.10 [09:56] jpverdoorn: so wait to Ubuntu 11.10, yeah? [09:56] du bor i stockholm? och är du en kivinor? [09:56] how do I turn off focus-follows-mouse in unity? I can't get to the menu bar at the top of the screen before it switches to a different app [09:56] Patryk1023: If you insist on trying on trying it you can check out this post on AskUbuntu for instructions how to install and remove GNOME Shell: http://askubuntu.com/questions/22946/how-do-i-install-the-latest-version-of-gnome-3 [09:56] i use hfsprogs to read and write to hfsplus partitions on ubuntu. any way to auto-mount those via fstab to read write? i tried /dev/sda2 /media/os_x hfsprogs defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [09:56] hello, i just wanted to update and i got an error about a bind-9.0 untrusted package [09:57] Patryk1023: And yes I think you should wait ;) [09:57] can i just update bind-9.0 ? [09:57] exalt: probably just 'sudo apt-get update' will fix it [09:57] llutz_: with 11.04 I get first aske for charset (choose utf8), then character set (I choose combind-latin), the console font (I choose fixed) and then console font size (I leave it at 16), then it regenerates initrd.img .. but nothing about keyboard layout in that dialog .. are you sure it does it in 10.10? [09:58] phaidros: i am, since i actually use 10.10 and just tested it [09:58] llutz_: darn, regressions all over the place .. grrr [09:59] llutz_: so, what do I do now, lol === lilstevie is now known as lilstevie|ZNC [10:03] i use hfsprogs to read and write to hfsplus partitions on ubuntu. any way to auto-mount those via fstab to read write? i tried /dev/sda2 /media/os_x hfsprogs defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [10:04] danmichel: The filesystem type is hfsplus, not hfsprogs. [10:04] oh, i see [10:04] brb then Jordan_U [10:04] i figured since the others said ntfs-3g... [10:04] brb === lilstevie|ZNC is now known as lilstevie [10:06] lilstevie: Your ZNC is set to change your nickname when you disconnect from it. This is against Ubuntu's IRC Guidelines and is rather annoying; please disable this feature. [10:09] <_NINJA> whp_,.. [10:09] 你好 [10:09] hi [10:10] i've trouble with apt-get [10:10] !cn | whp_ [10:10] whp_: 如欲獲得中文的協助,請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn、/join #ubuntu-tw 或 /join #ubuntu-hk。 [10:10] after any opertation i recive this message [10:11] dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 42312 package 'amaya': [10:11] error in string Version "wx-11.3.1-1": version number does not start with digit [10:11] how can I solved? [10:11] *solve [10:12] radoen: 3rd party repo? write a bug-report to the maintainer [10:12] join #ubuntu -cn [10:12] llutz: i've not 3rd part repo [10:12] !info amaya [10:12] Package amaya does not exist in natty [10:13] this is amaya [10:13] http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ [10:13] but i've removed before upgrading to [10:13] any ops on here [10:13] ? [10:13] patCork: try #ubuntu-ops [10:13] radoen: why didn't you use the ubuntu-deb? [10:14] This is not really a ubuntu question but.. In linux/Unix generally configuration for programs are stored i .cfg files or .-files or similar. This is nice as i can edit them with any text editor. But right now i'm working on a program that will hold a rather large ammount of config data, and for this i'm using sqlite. Is it a bad thing in a linux user's eye that they can not edit it from outside the program itself? [10:14] EClaesson: Well, one can edit sqlite databases with sqlite, so it's fine [10:14] llutz: ??? [10:14] theadmin: Great. Thanks :) [10:15] amaya was installed from a .deb [10:15] radoen: yes, a deb built for debian witha broken name. [10:15] this one amaya_11.3.1-2-ubuntu_amd64.deb [10:15] radoen, are you running a 64-bit system or 32-bit? [10:16] 64bit OS [10:16] is it possible to always show the application's menu? [10:18] so what i've to do to solve the problem? [10:18] amaya is not installed yet [10:19] hey guys i am trying to install mp4 but getting an error [10:20] pratz: What do you mean trying to install MP4? What package are you installing? [10:20] pratz: wait, wut? [10:21] Polah: theadmin: http://gpac.wp.institut-telecom.fr/2011/04/20/compiling-gpac-on-ubuntu/ this is the package i am trying to install [10:22] I am currently using classic gnome, if I switch to try Unity will it retain my classic gnome panel setting and such? [10:22] Polah: but as i do not have root access i am trying to compile it in my home directory [10:22] pratz: Use sudo... [10:22] some times on boot when doingleft shift it says GRUB LOADING... and then normal boot starts. what gives? [10:22] Polah: http://eitwebguru.com/how-to-install-mp4box-on-linux-server/ to do that i am following [10:22] mzuverink, when I did it briefly, I had my panel icons and stuff, albeit in a different place. [10:22] none can help me? [10:22] Polah: i do not have supre user powers , i am on webfaction shared hosting [10:23] hey I downloaded the gcc-4.5.2 sources for natty [10:23] is ther anyway to apply the debian patches cleanly [10:23] pratz: You're trying to install program to transcode video files into mp4 containers? [10:23] now most of them seem to be failing [10:23] I've tried make -f debian/rules patch [10:23] Polah, when I did it in beta I had no panels at all when came back to classic gnome, that is why I asked [10:24] mzuverink, can't help you there, sorry. [10:24] Polah: as somewhat like that, my friends team require this package [10:24] Pratz: If you're on shared webhosting then chances are you don't have the necessary permissions to compile or even run it. [10:25] Pratz: Consider getting your friend to install it on his own computer and then he can convert them and upload to the site. [10:25] Polah: that means i can not install it on this machine [10:25] pratz: Most probably, yes. [10:26] radoen: sudo dpkg --clear-avail [10:26] Polah: you mean to say , first compile it on my local mahcine and then the compiled directory should be host on webfaction ?? [10:26] llutz: no output after the comand [10:27] pratz: No. Like I said, you probably won't be able to compile it on the site, and you almost certainly won't be able to run it. [10:27] radoen: nice, "dpkg -l" still warinings? [10:27] warnings* [10:27] Pratz: Consider a VPS for more freedom for what you're trying to do. === maninho is now known as Guest46607 [10:28] Hamsters. [10:28] -l came back the installed packages list [10:28] Polah: what you mean to convert and then upload ?? [10:28] radoen: still with warnings? [10:29] no no warning only [10:29] info [10:29] pratz: Your friend can install MP4Box on his computer, use it on the video files to get them in MP4, and then upload and store them on the website which I assume is your end goal [10:29] radoen: so issue should be fixed [10:29] ok, now i'll try to install something [10:33] How do i save the output (for example from ls -LR /proc) to a file "backup.X.log" where X the day of the week is? [10:35] utnubu: ls -l > text-$(date '+%a').log [10:36] Polah: hey it is automated and is somewhat an online tool [10:37] llutz, thank you so much === wakkarto is now known as zulgaban [10:44] more questions ;): I can boot into runlevel 5 in command line and when i issue startx everything locks up. Can I get the output of that command somehow? [10:45] ack: nope... startx launches a process and you would be out of terminal mode [10:46] ack: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log(.*) [10:47] ack: sure you can. Redirect the output like so startx > /tmp/startx.out 2>&1 to catch both stdout and stderr. Once gui is started, you still should be able to access /tmp/startx.out file [10:48] llutz_: I can see now that my xorg.conf was changed last night when I shutdown [10:48] I did an update in Lubuntu and now I cannot get Flashplayer to work again. Any ideas? [10:49] oCean: Ofcourse.. facepalm.. Thanks :) [10:49] Ascavasaion: Is it on firefox? [10:49] linux_hacks: Chrome. [10:49] <_Neytiri_> i am getting a weird file in a home directory [10:49] <_Neytiri_> d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs [10:49] Ascavasaion: do you see plugins in plugin window? [10:50] <_Neytiri_> even as root i cant look at it [10:50] linux_hacks: Where do I find that? I checked under preferences and see nothing about plugins. [10:51] _Neytiri_: you won't see anything.. unless you do any remote accessing [10:52] Ascavasaion: type chrome://plugins and check [10:52] <_Neytiri_> i am remoted into the machine via ssh and it su'd up and i camt mess with the file [10:52] linux_hacks: No Flashplayer listed there, just a few ie. Gecko, etc. [10:54] Ascavasaion: apt-get install flashplugin-installer [10:54] linux_hacks: I did that earlier... it said that the most current version was already installed. === inumedia_ is now known as Inumedia [10:55] Ascavasaion: try running the command locate libflashplayer.so [10:55] linux_hacks: I did that, nothing. [10:55] Ascavasaion: Is it 32bit or 64bit? [10:55] sudo reboot -rF doesn't run fsck on reboot -- anyone know how to get a fsck to run on reboot (11.04) [10:55] 32bit [10:55] linux_hacks: 32 bit [10:56] rhin0: sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now [10:56] ok thanks will try [10:56] Ascavasaion: Download the flash player from adobe site.. and copy libflashplayer.so file to /opt/google/chrome/plugins === Phoebus_ is now known as Phoebus [10:56] rhin0: shutdown is broken due to upstart, so -f/-F doesn't work anymore in ubuntu [10:58] Hello! I'm tryign to install 11.04 from a USB stick, onto a USB hdd. Every time I try to install it goes fine, see's th drive and copys everything over. BUTTTT! it tries to install grub, and fails. error is grub-install /dev/sda/ failed Can anyone PM me some ideas? when trying to run the same command from bash i get a warning about a is09xxx drive format, and then something about being unable to load AUFS Thanks! [10:59] Hi all! I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS and look for a way to disable all keyboard and mouse input on the system (GNOME and console). Googled for it, but found no working solutions. Any ideas? [10:59] llutz_ that didn't run fsck [10:59] sz_: you want to disable mouse and keyboard.. same time? [10:59] "sudo modprobe -r usbhid" disables USB, that's OK, but what about PS2? [11:00] linux_hacks: Yes. [11:00] linux_hacks: It wants me to select an application to open the APT file. [11:00] rhin0: it should have done.... [11:00] Ascavasaion: download *.tar.gz file [11:00] linux_hacks: Aaaaha. [11:00] sz_: but why do you need such a case? [11:01] linux_hacks: 2 PCs next to each other, main one with synergy, so I need no keyboard/mouse on 2nd PC. Need to let screen unlocked, so want to disable keyboard/mouse. [11:01] rhin0: use tune2fs to tell it the drive has been mounted lots of times without an fsck [11:01] rhin0: then reboot [11:02] ok thanks dooglus [11:02] rhin0: assuming it's an ext4 format [11:02] rhin0: something like: "sudo tune2fs -C 100 /dev/sda" [11:03] or /dev/sda1 I mean - the device with the filesystem on it [11:03] linux_hacks: I guess somehow blacklisting USB/PS2 input would be the best solution. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a working way to do just that. [11:03] sz_ :http://wpkg.org/Disable_/_enable_keyboard_and_mouse_in_Linux [11:03] linux_hacks: Okay, it is downloaded. Now what do I do witht he tar.gz file? [11:04] linux_hacks: Found that already. Only works with already existing devices. If I plug in a new one, it would circumvent this. [11:04] rhin0: "grep -i forcefsck /etc/init/mountall.conf" any output? [11:04] open the tar file [11:04] sz_: Oh.. then I'm not aware of [11:04] Ascavasaion: do you see libflashplayer.so file [11:05] linux_hacks: Then I tried HAL blacklisting - created /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe/blacklist.fdi to blacklist info.category input, but it has no effect. [11:05] linux_hacks: Yes. [11:05] oCean: excellent got the logs now [11:06] linux_hacks: Do you know where I could disable /dev devices? Without simply deleting the files. Any blacklist for that, or where does it decide which ones to create? [11:07] the last thing in my xorg log is DRI initialization successfull and then FBADPhys: 0xf0000000 FBMappedSize: 0x0102c000. Any ides? [11:07] hi I have problems with freezing of Ubuntu 11.04 on my computer. I think it is nuveau driver for my graphic card. I can just move mouse but can not do anything with keyboard... Does anyone have such problem ? [11:07] sz_: nope [11:07] It occures after some times (5-10 mins or few hours...) [11:07] linux_hacks: Thanks anyways for trying. :) [11:08] Ascavasaion: now extract files to folder [11:08] sz_: did you try blacklisting the kernel USB modules, etc? [11:08] linux_hacks: I extracted and copiedit to /opt/google/chrome/plugins [11:08] Ascavasaion: so did it work? [11:08] here is my graphic card: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce G210] [11:09] dooglus: Yes, that works well with USB (usbhid module). But what would I need to blacklist to disable PS/2? [11:09] linux_hacks: just the .so file, or must I extract the whole tar file to that folder? === tPl0ch is now known as tPl0ch^ [11:09] Ascavasaion: just .so file === tPl0ch^ is now known as tPl0ch [11:09] sz_: it could well be compiled into the kernel image, not as a module [11:09] linux_hacks: HOw do I know if it worked? [11:09] sz_: in which case you would be sol [11:09] Ascavasaion: Now you should be able to see the flash plugin in chrome://plugins/ window [11:09] dooglus: Any chance of disabling the /dev/psaux, for instance? [11:10] Ascavasaion: atleast in disable mode [11:10] Hey Everyone [11:10] I have tried to get clutterflow working but when i try to use it , it does nothing [11:10] any ideas anyone? [11:10] dooglus: With "sudo nohup cat /dev/tty0 &> /dev/null &" I can take over the PS/2 keyboard and suppress input. Not sure if it's the proper way, but it works, but only for keyboard. [11:10] linux_hacks: Nope. [11:10] sz_: you could try 'chmod 0 /dev/...' [11:11] sz_: a device without permissions won't be usable [11:11] ok.. now execute /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-plugins %U and see [11:11] dooglus: I'll try but expect it to be recreated on next boot. But then I could use a startup script to change it again. Not so beautiful, but if it works... will try! === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [11:11] linux_hacks: command not found. [11:12] sz_: you can put it in /etc/rc.local - then you don't need the 'sudo' [11:12] dooglus: Oh well, it doesn't work. chmod 0 or even rm doesn't affect PS/2 mouse movement. [11:12] try with sudo [11:12] Ascavasaion: try with sudo [11:13] linux_hacks: Thatb waswith sudo... there is no chrome in /opt/ [11:13] has anyone had any problems with clutterflow in nautilus? [11:13] sz_: is superglue in the port an option? [11:13] i cant get it working [11:13] Ascavasaion: how did you install chrome ? is it from synaptic or manually by downloading file? [11:13] or it is not working at all [11:13] linux_hacks: Synaptic I think. [11:13] dooglus: In fact, that's what I already considered but tried to find a "nicer" solution. :) [11:13] sz_: who ever uses a ps2 mouse any ore? [11:13] Ascavasaion: now type whereis chrome [11:14] Hello, how install 32bit app on 64bit 11.04 ? [11:14] sz_: obviously nicer to find a software solution [11:14] Ascavasaion: or type whereis google-chrome [11:14] dooglus: I don't - but if anyone plugged one in, they would circumvent my attempt to disable local input. [11:14] bump :p [11:14] linux_hacks: It does not find it. [11:15] sz_: don't forget to password protect the bios and set it not to boot from cd, usb, network [11:15] Ascavasaion: locate google-chrome [11:15] linux_hacks: I think it is called chromium-browser [11:15] sz_: or they can boot from a livecd and all bets are off [11:15] haveing problems with clutterflow not working in nautilus [11:15] any ideas?

[11:28] Ascavasaion: i'd say it was all linux_hacks ;-) [11:30] ActionParsnip: I would say it's all because of IRC :) [11:31] Irc powerrrrrrrrrrr [11:31] haha [11:33] Hey ubuntu fans [11:34] Irc power is so powerful it can block out the sun, but then it gets too cold. So it makes another sun. Double sun powerrrr [11:34] I have installed ubuntu with nautilus elementary but clutterflow is now working [11:34] would anyone know why that could be?

[11:49] MonkeyDust: Yes that one was in the update too. Any way to revert and apt-get upgrade? === klownish1 is now known as klown [11:50] ack: the libpam error is a known bug [11:51] linux_hacks: but the process belongs to phunbaba [11:51] Egbert9e9: then no idea... couldn't help you much [11:51] sigh...

[12:02] What should I use to backup my entire disk to a file? Something that takes into account sparse files would be nice [12:02] I.E. not DD.

In this case the very first autosuggest for googling "clutterflow" was "clutterflow not working" and the very first result mentioning nautilus was about it not working in nautilus elementary on Maverick within the Ubuntu forums.....it seems to have fixed his problem as he just dropped off without asking another question after thanking me for the post...don't really understand your policy [12:10] !info keyboard-configuration [12:10] keyboard-configuration (source: console-setup): system-wide keyboard preferences. In component main, is important. Version 1.57ubuntu20 (natty), package size 332 kB, installed size 1584 kB [12:11] phaidros: ^^^ tried this? [12:12] ivs: while google is helpful for lots of people, there are still many users that find it not useful. Results of a lmgtfy might not be relevant and set users off in the wrong direction. If you are convinced that a certain page has the solution for a specific problem, then show the page. [12:12] llutz_: where should keyboard-configuration be ? [12:12] dant find it .. [12:13] phaidros: dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration just a guess from console-setup changelog [12:13] llutz_: only binary beginning with "key" is keytool [12:13] hm, ok [12:13] i still wonder why console-setup in 11.04 works so different from 10.10 [12:14] me too [12:14] is it possible to install a distro on a virtual disk, created with dd? [12:14] llutz_: the installer asks for keyboard layout, which package gets configured with that? [12:15] MonkeyDust: virtual disk located where? [12:15] phaidros: i thought it would be console-setup [12:15] ivs: in /home/my_user [12:15] <_ikke_> I'm trying to add a custom url handler for spotify links, but it keeps openening the links in my browser. I use gconftool-2 to add a handler for it (http://paste.pocoo.org/show/398787/). But when I do xdg-open spotify:test or xdg-open spotify://test it still opens in my browser. Am I missing something? [12:16] llutz_: dpkg -L keyboard-configuration at least hints for a config file in /etc/udev [12:16] maybe thats the way [12:16] MonkeyDust: you could probably work out a way to install it, but won't be able to boot into it. might want to take a look at virtualbox [12:16] what I wonder is, that "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" sets the keyboardlayout, but doenst permanently .. o.O [12:16] phaidros: do you have /etc/default/keyboard? [12:17] Hello everybody :-) [12:17] hello....when i umount my external NTFS drive...i get kernel panic..! [12:17] llutz_: yes .. and with any luck thats the cause :) [12:18] anynone can help me about this? [12:18] Any webmail server you guys recommend? [12:18] llutz_: to easy to look there, one has to get used to look into /etc/default first nowadays :) [12:18] zxiest: webmail? server? [12:18] zxiest: you mean a mailserver or a webmail (as in html based mua) ? [12:18] zxiest: roundcube (webmail frontend to any imap/pop3-server) [12:18] phaidros webmail application I mean... Something like squirrelmail or roundcube [12:19] zxiest: roundcube is still best [12:19] phaidros I see... [12:19] imho [12:19] I have it installed but I don't like the themes...

[12:20] luuk: not on freenode I don't think [12:21] llutz_ is that different than those in the forum? [12:21] :( im kinda new to IRC, i never use it [12:21] zxiest: not sure, its the one i used ages ago :) [12:21] is there a website with popular channels? [12:21] llutz_ cool..

[12:21] anyone have any experience in getting the driver RTL8191SEvB (Realtek wireless driver) to work on their laptop correctly, I have searched google, and forums, and none of the suggested has fixed my problems [12:22] luuk: google it [12:22] you nice guy :P [12:22] luuk: 'directory of irc networks [12:22] r0fs3ck5: watch out for oCean :-P [12:22] ivs: why so? [12:23] arif-ali: you can try compiling from compat wireless sources and installing those [12:24] I have compiled the sources from the realtek website, with no luck, I'll try the compat ones, will google that and find it, thx [12:24] r0fs3ck5: chewed me out for suggesting google in an instance where the very first result for querying the problem turned out to be an Ubuntu forum post solving the issue [12:24] r0fs3ck5: apparently against the "rules" of the channel [12:24] damn :( [12:24] thats why i hate old windows specific languages [12:25] fucking delphi [12:25] ivs: mine was related to general search for a specific term regarding irc networks. pointing to an external search engine is more than reasonable in that case. [12:25] arif-ali: compat wireless sources are the kernel drivers separate from the kernel distribution, and often are more updated --- however, if the driver is not open source, they won't have it, just as a heads up [12:25] 0.0 [12:26] luuk: try at ircnet [12:26] r0fs3ck5: I agree, and it seemed reasonable in the case where I suggested it as well.....but don't mind me - just bitter about being chewed out for something that seemed, and was intended as, helpful to another :-) [12:26] ivs, ok, cool, thanks for that, just got a new laptop, and pulling my hair out at the moment, using the ethernet cable instead at the moment. I will continue to dig around, and see what I can do to fix it [12:27] thanks llutz i did [12:27] but the channel is empty..

Gnome w/network manager works fine, but if I log out and log in to my dwm session and use wicd-curses, I can't obtain an IP. I authenticate, just don't get an IP. [14:31] i successfully added a new user, but there are no groups i can join, no admin group, no sudoers, so i'm forced to use the root user. Is there a way to recreate / restore the admin group? [14:32] Please anyone? Does some kind of file sorter exist? [14:32] I have no hope of sifting through thousands of crap named files to find important bits of writing and ext. [14:33] The_Explorer: Whats going on ? [14:33] I had actually been googling and learning and applying to restore the files for 12 hours yesterday [14:33] The_Explorer, what do you need to do exactly ? [14:33] Psydoll, look my question please [14:33] A_J I had that problem myself yesterday [14:33] I need a program, that will sort through damaged files, rename them and or move them to directories, respective to thier extentions [14:33] and google cant find out [14:34] Psydoll, what did you do ? [14:34] A_J: What I had to do was turn it on in device managers in windows and booted linux back up and it worked againm [14:34] Psydoll, kinda sad, cause i'm only using ubuntu [14:34] dang that is sad, well go to your bios and put it on from there [14:35] * A_J will check BIOS, thanks Psydoll [14:35] The_Explorer, have you tried something like "mv *.file-extension destination/directory"? [14:35] np and good luck [14:35] The files exist in subdirectories [14:35] _r, I assume that by dwm session , you're on the cli , with ethernet or is it wifi ? [14:35] razorsharp, you can use groupadd to add groups; however why are you without the admin group? [14:35] The_Explorer, I can'T help , best of luck [14:35] mr candrea [14:37] Can someone explain to me like i was a child what exactly is multiverse and universe? [14:38] The_Explorer, mv `find -name "\.file-extension"` destionation/directory [14:38] Psydoll, fancyfull names for repositories (where packages for progs, apps and drivers and the likes are kept) , universe contains everything , multiverse contains everything else [14:38] :-) [14:38] candrea: it was just like that when i choose to install lucid from my hosts control panel [14:38] Pelo thanks [14:39] candrea, the files have no name but an assigned number. and searching / loading the list of files appears to tax my cpu, like it wont index [14:40] The_Explorer, ah, I thought you wanted to move them looking at the file extension [14:41] jonatasn0n@ [14:41] The_Explorer, how do you want to distinguish between them? [14:42] candrea: i can create a new group called admin, but what about the rights? i am not familiar with setting admin rights to a group. [14:42] is there no common/standardized interface for interfacing with graphics hard ware on linux like windows has? [14:42] <_r> BluesKaj: I mean that I use the dwm desktop session that was installed when I did apt-get install dwm. I select it from Gnome session manager. It is a wireless connection, but for some reason Ubuntu calls the card eth1, if that helps. [14:42] in windows you can at least set basic stuff like screen resolution, monitor arrangement etc regardless of the driver [14:43] with linux using proprietary drivers you have to use the driver's in all cases shitty program [14:43] alright ppl, I have just bought a usb phone, what is the best way of getting it working on ubuntu with skype? [14:43] 1599 ha gayret [14:43] razorsharp, you have to add this line to your /etc/sudoers: "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" (without the quotes) [14:43] Kingsy: plugging it in, selectingit from skype config? [14:43] :D [14:43] razorsharp, this way, every user in the admin group will be able to use sudo [14:43] razorsharp: make sure you use visdo to modify /etc/sudoers [14:43] razorsharp: sorry, 'visudo' [14:45] BajK: ah.. lol umm let me look [14:46] Hi, i would like to add a user in a group on my local server (the user already exist on a ldap server)... i cannot do a usermod -a -G group name, i get --> not found in /etc/passwd... can you help me? [14:46] xro, isn'T it sudo addgroup username password ? [14:47] hello gang. is it possible to allow a non-root user to install _updates_ but not full dist upgrades via the update manager? i would like other users to be able to grab security/bug fixes etc. just the 'updates' [14:47] sorry, addgroup groupname username [14:47] mmm sad, conky is making Xorg too busy! ( the 13-15% CPU activity in idle). found conky guilty! dunno how to make conky less hungry on my cpu ... [14:47] galaxy_999, you can set the security update to be automatic if I recall correctly [14:47] i know it can run in the background unattended but, that eats up a lot of bandwidth at times when it may be unwanted [14:48] _r, sorry I haven't any experience connecting wifi in dwm ...maybe someone else can help here ? [14:48] i'd like the user to have a choice on when to consume all that data [14:48] BajK: I have plugged it in, and nothing happens.. no options in skype [14:49] Pelo, it's actually adduser username groupname ;-) [14:49] Kingsy: hm it works fine here :D did you restart skype? possible that skype doesnt react to hardware changes right away since it is a non-native application [14:49] candrea, don'T tell me tell xro [14:50] Pelo, usermod is right too, so adduser won't work; it was just fyi [14:51] candrea, Pici: it worked, thanks. [14:52] okay, I now have 36 img files after dd_rescuing the faulty drive, how do I mount/repair/salvage from all these images? [14:52] candrea, i get --> unknown group, but the group exists (getent group return it)... But the group is local and not on the ldap... have you an idea [14:52] razorsharp, if you miss the admin group, maybe you are missing some other important groups too. I suggest you to grab a /etc/group (and also a /etc/passwd) from a "sane" Ubuntu and compare it with yours [14:53] I'm having this issue where Evolution won'T fetch/send emails anymore , anyone know the solution ? [14:53] Hello all, I am trying to install SDL 1.2.11 - Some how I ended up trying to find out where X window is installed... Does anyone know where it is installed on Ubuntu 11.04 by default? [14:54] Pelo, do you recieve an error message? [14:54] BajK: let me try that [14:54] candrea, Pelo, forgive me... i'm stupid :( [14:54] kaizokuroof_, no it just tries to retreive ne email for ever [14:54] xro, we forgive ignorance, not stupidity :-) [14:55] Pelo: Is Ubuntu popular with African Americans? [14:55] Psydoll, not a clue, I'M neither [14:55] BajK: nope.. no joy [14:55] it still plays the audio through my speakers etc [14:55] the usb phone is none responsive [14:55] you have pulseaudio installed? [14:55] Pelo, What type of mail are you using? [14:56] xro, no problem! is everything solved? [14:56] so you could manually "drag" the sound stream from skype over to the other device [14:56] thats what I use to do when flash does not recognize I add/remove a device [14:56] kaizokuroof_, a pop3/smtp from my isp, and a gmail [14:56] BajK: well the mic speakers and ringing are all on "pulse audio server (local)" [14:56] candrea: yes i noticed many others missing too. thanks [14:56] hm try setting device priority [14:56] in pulseaudio settings [14:57] that the headphones have higher prioritx [14:57] BajK: where is the pulseaudio settings ? [14:57] an are used automatically if available [14:57] uh, should be sound devices [14:57] dunno, I use KDE:D [14:57] Pelo, Can you try running Evolution as root? [14:57] kaizokuroof_, from my google search it would appear that evolution in natty is a bit of a lemon , so many problems, can'T figure out which one applyes to me, those I thought did don'T seem to have working fixes [14:57] razorsharp, also remember to check with the packages you have installed when adding the missing users/groups (for example, you don't need the postfix user/group if you don't have postfix installed) [14:58] I think Natty is the most successful Ubuntu release - Unity, despite the haters, is very usable for me and better then Gnome 3. Gnome3 looks like it is still alpha stable of incoming radical UI changes. I find it far from finished yet still missing so much usability...etc .. okay my mouth is closed now :) [14:58] kaizokuroof_, sure but I don'T think my account info will be in there [14:58] how to underline text in gedit or kate ? [14:58] Hi all, i was writing a shell script. I wanted to echo [ OK ] at the right end of the screen. How is it possible? [14:58] BajK: ok, I can see the phone in the sound options.. there doesnt seem to be any pulseaudio options or anything [14:58] kaizokuroof_, it starts up the configuration wizard [14:59] Kingsy: can you change device priority? [14:59] there [14:59] Konza, echo "[ OK }" [14:59] Konza: let X = $COLUMNS - (string len) ? [14:59] bretzel, your opinions are welcome! But this is the support channel, if you want to, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic and discuss with other your ideas :-) [14:59] kaizokuroof_, do you want me to proceed and add a hunch of accounts to the root-evolution?

[16:47] tensorpudding: the readme file is not helpfull at all, and the only other file is the Makefile shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/615926/, Again, I have no idea how to compile it though [16:47] why is everyone in every channel except ubuntu a bunch of buttheads [16:47] nimbiotics: okay, did you install libsdl1.2-dev then? [16:48] nimbiotics: once you have, try running make again [16:48] pitthappens !guidelines lol [16:48] kodekamel: got an Ubuntu relatef question, codecamel? [16:49] nimbiotics: it might still fail, but it ought to get further this time [16:49] yes... I was waiting patiently. However, I post again. [16:49] I'm having an issue with eclipse/subclipse. When I add a repository I get an error "Malformed Network Data" Has anyone ran into this issue? I'm here in the ubuntu channel because none of other distros have had this problem? [16:49] tensorpudding: I guess its time for me to give up, at least for now; I'm getting a bunch of warnings and errors. THANK YOU very much! [16:50] tensorpudding: i'll get back to it some other day though [16:50] nimbiotics: where did you find that program, by the way? [16:50] hello how to used rm to delete files does not have a filename contains "thumb" [16:50] rm *thumb* [16:50] tensorpudding: softpedia, but its listed in many other places [16:51] nimbiotics: softpedia is bad bad [16:51] dellph, but be careful.... [16:51] is it possible to remount an NFS file system with new mount options without completely unmounting it first? [16:51] can anyone please help me, my server running ubuntu 11.04 and samba set up, but when i start transferring files from my windows computer to the server, the entire server stops responding to input [16:51] kodekamel: what gives the error? [16:51] nimbiotics: generally they repackage the source [16:51] nimbiotics: but anyway [16:51] nimbiotics: have you looked at the sudoku programs in the software center? [16:51] nibbler_: dellph warning: rm *thumb* will remove files that do have thumb as part of the name! [16:51] tensorpudding: I understand but this particular port of the game seems very good, at least compared to the POC in the ubuntu software center [16:52] hi back again [16:52] nibbler_, i think it will delete the file that contains thumb. what i want is the filename does NOT contains thumb. [16:52] r0fs3ck5: The error is returned by the subclipse plugin inside the eclipse-pde gui. svn checkout from command line works fine. [16:52] it does work i'm onit on my main machine now in @trial mode@ [16:53] nibbler_, any other ideas? [16:53] oCean, yes. I want the other way around. [16:53] LS=$(ls|grep -v thumb);for F in $LS;do rm -rf $F;done [16:53] kodekamel: you mean like this: http://www.svnforum.org/threads/32499-svn-ssh-via-Subclipse-Malformed-network-data? [16:53] http://www.svnforum.org/threads/32499-svn-ssh-via-Subclipse-Malformed-network-data [16:54] is it possible to execute shell cmds along with sftp invocation to the server directly...(Like its done in ssh) [16:54] kodekamel: seconf link [16:55] anyone with still? [16:55] dellph, sorry for that, i misread you. well, if you dont have special characters or spaces in the filenames: ls |grep -v thumb | xargs rm (to try it out replace rm by echo, so you see the parameter list which you would pass to rm [16:55] anyone with me still???? [16:55] dondf0x: you'll want to be sure to quote those environmental variables, else amusing things will happen if there are spaces in the filenames. [16:55] kodekamel: reported on SUSE also. [16:56] nibbler_, thanks a lot it works. you a genius :D [16:56] !guidelines [16:56] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [16:56] anyone helping me yet??? === Utkarsh_ is now known as Utkarsh [16:57] joshuau: yes, bad disc. burn it to a *cd* using ubuntu. check the disc afterwards using the instructions on the ubuntu website [16:57] joshuau, make sure your machine boots from cd, check the bios. [16:57] how do i do that?? [16:58] joshuau, you still having problems with booting system from CD [16:58] r0fs3ck5: I guess that's a similar issue. I'm not following what you meant by "seconf" [16:58] no it works fine on my 2008 pc but not on my 2003 pc [16:59] joshuau, it's different from bios to bios, try hitting the DEL key repeadedly while booting. if that doesn't get you there, try F2, some also use F11 or F12 [16:59] r0fs3ck5: but no... That's what's going on here. [16:59] anyone using xchat here? [16:59] kodekamel: :). I'd suggest you would have more luck with the maintainers of that particular package. [16:59] ok lets say i get to the system setup screen, what do i do then??? [16:59] I have installed Ubuntu on a 40gig SSD but would like to run all my files and programs from a small RAID. All hardware is operational but I am not sure how to install a program like VMware onto a second hard drive for regular use. help? [17:00] c2tarun: probably a lot of people [17:00] KM0201, how can I turn off join/part notifications? [17:00] I agree. Thanks for look. I was just hoping to find someone with the same issue. [17:00] !quietxchat | c2tarun [17:00] c2tarun: To disable joins and parts from being displayed in all future channels you join, type /set irc_conf_mode 1 . To apply this setting to all current channels, type /gui apply. To disable the prints for only certain channels, right click on the channel tab and click Settings -> Hide Join/Part Messages [17:00] ... [17:00] Pici, that's helpful :) thanks [17:01] c2tarun: right click a channel, settings "hide join part"... put a check next to it [17:01] joshuau, there should be a boot option, should be obvious if not well walk you thru. [17:01] KM0201, oh.. that was easy :) [17:01] i seem to have lost the default coloring of directorys, executables etc in the console of ubuntu server, any idea how to get them back?

[17:02] Is there a way to install Ubuntu, in AHCI mode, while having a SSD drive, but trying to install another hdd? :) [17:02] Yes OK OK but i think the boot order is fine . it boots the dvd drive first anyway. [17:02] anyone else have a problem with javaws and clicking "run" when prompted with a website certificate warning ? [17:02] i havnt changed it so i guess i must have deleted it [17:02] rayvtirx: what do you get when you run 'which ls' [17:03] /bin/ls [17:03] all I can find on google is someone else asking the same question [17:03] joshuau, sorry to interrupt, but are you trying to install ubuntu natty using the livecd on a pc made in 2003 ? [17:03] maybe i need ubuntu 7 or 8 but where are they? [17:04] BluesKaj that is correct [17:04] BluesKaj, well is that a problem? [17:04] Are folders or PDFs cached by default? If I keep printing a PDF, and the old data keeps showing up, should I just clear some buffer somewhere? [17:04] It shouldn't be, I've done it several times.

The site that you download it from has tutorials. [17:27] rayvtirx: it probably doesn't think that xterm can show colors? [17:27] rayvtirx: or something [17:27] Hi all, i really need a push in the right direction. I need to share users and groups across my lan so that all the computers on the lan can access my NFS shares and manipulate files with their respective permissions. What software would i use to accomplish this? [17:27] for someone computer inliterate as me how do i dual boot my acer windows 7 machine with ubuntu ? I currently am booted into ubuntu 11,4 using pendrive [17:27] rayvtirx: that would be kinda odd though [17:28] dont want to spoil my windows partition , However i partitio? [17:28] prod___: are you in a workplace or at home? Do you have windows machines currently connected to your network? [17:28] may be something to do with my installing ubuntu-dektop then removing it [17:29] rayvtirx: i don't think so [17:29] Yohaku, first of all make the backups [17:29] new Ubuntu CDs come with an option "install and live with Windows" [17:29] yokahu: f00fSteR already answered that question earlier [17:30] rayvtirx: well, if nothing else works, just try adding 'alias ls="ls --color=auto"' as the last line of ~/.bashrc [17:30] akakak: Its a home network although i am not really concerned about serving the windows machines. Nonetheless i wouldnt mind if your solution would help both [17:30] hey frakkers [17:31] My course in Linux is nearly done thank fu ck [17:31] asteig , so this allows me to fully expirience the unlimited ubuntu 11.4 without any limitations, like i am currenly having issues downloading and instaling certain programs like miro while booted on ubuntu via pendrive [17:31] i doubt ill touch linux for a while it may be worth just sticking to windoze.... [17:31] yokahu: the installer will have an option to resize windows, giving you room to install ubuntu, this will be the option you want [17:31] !language | b6679100 [17:31] b6679100: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:32] dont tel me what to do [17:32] it's troll day apparently [17:32] guys is it possible to execute cmds directly from the sftp cmd line while logging in to the server as can be done with ssh ? [17:32] there are trolls everyday [17:32] no hasnt worked [17:32] b6679100: *don't frakking tell me what to do, toasters. FTFY [17:32] rkhshm: some commands are available [17:33] rkhshm: not nearly the full range you have with ssh though [17:33] rkhshm: not arbitrary commands no, you'd need to use ssh directly [17:33] yokahu: if you install ubuntu this way, you'll be able to boot both windows and ubuntu fine [17:33] maco: yes I'm aware that .. But I'd like to know how to do it. [17:33] b6679100, well then go back to win dows ,,,threatening to do so makes no difference to us [17:33] maco: something simple as 'ls -l' is available in sftp [17:33] however how do i pass the same directly in the cmd line? [17:33] tensorpudding you mean i can go ahead and instal ubuntu 11.4 usingpendrive while booted using pendrive without afecting my win 7 OS [17:34] prod___: if you have to service samba clients, it'd probably be easiest to just set up the share as a cifs or smb share, and set the permissions of the share to a user of a specific machine on your network. Such as if you have a windows client named 'clientA', you could add some users to 'clientA' that the rest of your users on your home network would use to access the share with [17:34] yokahu: it will affect windows 7, but not in a destructive way [17:34] yokahu, like everyone said, first do a backup, then boot the cd follow the recommended settings, and you will be good. [17:35] yokahu: it will resize the windows 7 partition to make room for ubuntu, but this doesn't affect files on the partition [17:35] prod___: then on the new smb share, add the permissions of the new users you created in the fashion on "clientA\user1" [17:36] maco: any ideas? [17:36] akakak: ill try and explain exactly what i am tryin to do and why i am using nfs. [17:36] prod___: using this method basically gives anyone a login to that windows machine that you're adding the "permissions" users for though. [17:36] b6679100, then go back to windows ,,,threatening to do so makes no difference to us. [17:36] rkhshm: i dont think you can switch to a full shell from sftp [17:36] Why is backup nessesary if it does not afect files or window OS? [17:36] yokahu: well, it's somewhat of a lie, it doesn't change the files, but the filesystem [17:37] b6679100: ohmigod why are you going back to windows [17:37] yokahu: there was the possibility of bugs causing filesystem corruption, but nowadays the filesystem driver is very robust [17:37] prod___: alrighty. I used that method to give my gf and I access to a backup directory on my media server, while also keeping my media server's media directories open for public users if they come over and want to share media with me [17:38] akakak: I have a virtual machine runnin which is host to an openvpn client and transmission-daemon. This machine will be saving the downloads to a nfs directory mounted in its FS. The nfs-server will be running on the domain-0 and will also be sharing the downloads directory out to all the other *nix machines. [17:38] yokahu: you could still have problems if, say, you lost power while you were resizing, then you could well be completely ruined [17:39] akakak: I have many other thing that i will be addin to the VM that will serv anonimity to my local network [17:39] prod: chat nicley [17:39] could someone explain why whenever I press ctrl my typing cursor goes and I cant access menus please? I've looked everywhere and I cant find what I've pressed for this to happen :( [17:39] chat nicely?

[17:41] yokahu: people suggest backing up because that is the safest route, and while i can't say it's a bad idea, i've not heard of anyone having issues with data loss while resizing partitions in a good long time, and i personally don't back up files on a partition i am going to resize [17:41] b6679100: While I admire your desire to educate people about channel rules, could you be a little more relevant and nice about it?

[17:42] well thanks for trying to help anyway , i will use ls --color=auto for now [17:42] i will come back and help out later [17:42] no hurry. [17:42] thank god. [17:42] thanks for the swap page [17:42] erle-: have you already set the machine up or are you doing a fresh install? [17:43] galaxy_999, already set up [17:43] prod___: you could use smb to accomplish that task [17:43] galaxy_999, i want a second account [17:43] does no one know a solution to my question? :< [17:43] and then have it available for your windows users as well as your *nix users === gusan0r is now known as Gusan0r [17:44] galaxy_999, 11.04 ubuntu [17:45] erle-: dont know about 11.* but, have you consulted the community help pages yet? [17:45] * galaxy_999 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome [17:45] i have been hearing about MODIFYING THE LINUX KERNEL (Android).how does code written for X86 work for ARM?do they rewrite all the code [17:45] akakak: But what is the linux equivalent for doing this? later down the road i would like to be able to do a lot of work with PXE booting thin/discless and virtual machines [17:46] bh: Try #android or ##linux. #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. [17:46] Dulak: hey i think that solved my problem [17:46] Devio: In what program? Ctrl usually trigger command shortcut [17:46] sorry! [17:46] in everything, it makes me unable to type anywhere [17:46] akakak: as i understand nfs is a very clean way of doing this [17:46] also makes menus unusable [17:46] however, my type cursor comes back and menus are clickable if i hold CTRL again [17:47] Devio, it's your gdm mouse drivers [17:47] Devio: If you press Esc does it help? [17:47] no [17:47] Devio, check out the ubuntu forums for mouse click freeze after install this problem has been solved many times [17:47] thunar problem here [17:47] anyone? [17:47] akakak: so far i have read a little about NIS, LDAP, PAM but i am lost in the sea of jargon [17:47] it's nothing to do with my mouse f00fSteR [17:47] my mouse is fine 100% of the time [17:48] certain other buttons make it happen do like "dash" and "percent" which i just found out [17:48] Devio: Check accesibilty, and setting in keyboard section [17:48] it's all unchecked [17:48] i have been using ubuntu 8.04 and i know it isn't supported but i heard you can install BULID-ESSENTIAL using the desktop cd [17:48] any networking pros here i can pester with a question? [17:48] prod___, NFS works with linux to linux , not so well linux to windows unless you want to buy a windows NFS server app. [17:48] qin: should any of that be checked? i've not changed anything, it randomly started happening 2 days ago [17:48] a hostname issue [17:49] BrainVirus: What's the issue? [17:49] Devio: I recall, one for Shift (hardshift), and something about keycombos. A minute. [17:49] Blueskaj: as i mentioned earlier i am not really interested about serving my windows machines. This is a linux project really [17:49] Hi, Unity does not start since latest upgrades, am I the only experiencing this ? Black screen after the splash screen, recovery mode with failsafeX works fine [17:50] erle-: as an aside note: if youre concerned about privacy and security you may also want to investigate using whole disk encryption. as having an encrypted ~/ (while it offers many advantages) has many limitations [17:50] qin: another symptom from this aside from type cursor vanishing and menu locking is I cant move windows when I drag them [17:50] can i create a bootable usb for two operating systems. I am planning to buy 32 Gb usb drive and put both windows and ubuntu so that when it crashes i can use it to boot and restore [17:51] I'm using the file menu bar in the top panel thing that ubuntu one has. Can I make it so the window title + the file menu options are always visible (like in OSX), ie I don't have to bring my mouse to the top to see the options? [17:51] EastDallas: I have setup ubuntu 10.04 and i am not able to ping the hostname from another machine. I can ping the host name from the ubuntu box itself. I have tried editing dhclient.conf, installing winbind, samba, and editing the nsswitch.conf file to include wins [17:51] EastDallas: the other issue about my setup is that i have a bridged connection, dont know if that matters [17:51] Devio: gnome-keyboard-setting > tab Accesibility > Sticky keys ? [17:51] BrainVirus: what's in /etc/hosts ? [17:52] qin: it's unchecked, should it be? [17:52] Devio: No [17:52] BrainVirus: the easiest resolution is to just add the hostname to your hosts file on the windows machine. [17:52] Devio: Delay? (in tab General) [17:52] MonkeyDust: 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.1.1 sauron [17:53] qin: that is checked [17:53] EastDallas: wouldnt that enatil setting a static ip for the machine? [17:53] entail* [17:53] qin: changing sticky keys didn't fix anything [17:53] BrainVirus: sauron should point to your pc's ip-adres, that it gets from the router [17:53] BrainVirus: That would make it reliable...so yes [17:53] btw...is the other machine a windows machine? [17:54] EastDallas: yes, [17:54] trecc: glad that worked, it's nice when something so simple solves an issue [17:54] EastDallas: MonkeyDust i need to have a dynamic ip for this machine because its going to be moved around in different networks [17:54] it essentially needs to be plug and play [17:54] Devio: No idea then, set new (dummy) keyboard layout to see if it do not work well too. [17:55] is there any way from a kern oom log to figure out what is causing the server to go oom? [17:55] sry prod___ din't see your earlier post === paulius is now known as pauliuspa [17:55] can root change the password of a user with an encrypted directory? [17:55] BrainVirus: You'll have to get WINS support working. Will this all be on the same network? That the hostname needs to be resolvable? [17:55] erle-: Yes [17:55] what's the best way to maintain a CLASSPATH? scripts at startup? [17:55] erle-: yes the password for an account is seperate from the home dir, they are not related at all [17:56] EastDallas: yes, it needs to be resolvable. I tried adding wins to the nsswitch.conf file to no avail [17:56] BrainVirus: does it need to be resolvable on multiple networks, or just the one you are connected to now? [17:56] Dulak, and how is the home dir decrypted then? [17:56] is there a configuration file to change the language of gnome? I dont have access to gdm and system>administration doesn't give me the option to === rgr is now known as Guest76476 [17:57] Dulak, isnt it decrypted at login with help of the login password? [17:57] anyone on? [17:57] EastDallas: the one i have it on now. [17:57] sparkle33: language support [17:57] erle-: on login the password is checked, then used to decrpyt the home dir, then mounted where it's supposed to be [17:57] does anyone use thunar? [17:57] I have an external NTFS partition with a bunch of empty folders, and I can't delete them I keep getting "directory not empty" even with sudo rm -f -r /foo [17:57] erle-: but the password for login is not kept in the encrypted volume [17:58] Dulak, but there must be a secret to protect the encrypted dir [17:58] OK, then it's probably do-able... [17:58] I am trying to get wvdial to work with a 3g modem on ubuntu 10.04 but ttyusb0 is not showing in /dev/ any ideas [17:58] Dulak, of course not, i didnt say anything like that [17:58] hello [17:59] Dulak, if the users login password is not needed vor decryption, than root can decrypt any encrypted home dir [17:59] Is there any way from a kern.log with OOM Killer entries to figure out what is causing the server to go oom? [17:59] i have tryed 5 billion things to start my windows partition (which messed up after grub was installed worked fine after ubuntu install) [17:59] tensorpudding: fixed it despite exiting and logging back in with no luck, i typed source ~/.bashrc and color is back permanently it seems [18:00] here is my boot info file I know /dev/sda1 is windows [18:00] http://pastebin.com/C5qRfk7s [18:00] erle-: yes, root is the superuser, it has all access, to everything. How else would you fix things when they get borked [18:00] BrainVirus: I'm trying to find you step-by-step instrux...just a second. [18:00] EastDallas: the thing that kills me is that it was working on a previous installation. [18:00] damn no its not permanent lol [18:00] EastDallas: thankyou so much [18:01] if anyone could help me would be greatly appreciated I been at this for hours [18:01] Dulak, you should not be able to access an encrypted file without the secret [18:01] Dulak, they should not call in encryption then [18:01] erle-: afaik the password is the secret, and root has access to that [18:01] I have an external NTFS partition with a bunch of empty folders, and I can't delete them I keep getting "directory not empty" even with sudo rm -f -r /foo [18:01] why should he? and how? [18:01] erle-: root cannot decrypt the volume. root does not have access to passwords (only password hashes). [18:02] rayvtirx: it would seem that your problem is that .bashrc isn't getting sourced [18:02] does anyone here use THUNAR? [18:02] helphelp! my windows are losing their containers! (title bar, edges) [18:02] ubuntu 11.04 64b [18:02] sipior, how is the encryption worth anything then? [18:02] beef-supreme: have done [18:02] sipior, to protect against non-root-users no encryption is needed [18:02] aeon-ltd, i can't seam to be able to mount parititons [18:02] tase: you mean your 'window decoration' - perhaps due to compiz crashing. [18:02] !anyone | beef-supreme [18:02] beef-supreme: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [18:03] tase: metacity --replace (or compiz --replace) if you use compiz, that will return them but you might wan to find out whats crashing it [18:03] BrainVirus: are you able to navigate to samba shares on the ubuntu box from a windows box using hostname? [18:03] erle-: i just told you that root cannot decrypt the volume. what's the problem? [18:03] beef-supreme: do you have vol-man (volume manager?) [18:03] erle-: yeah sipior is right, root can change the password, but you'd need to input the old one so it can decrpyt the volume and reencrypt the volume with the new password [18:03] sipior, sorry, i confused the two of you [18:03] aeon-ltd, thunar-volman? [18:03] EastDallas: i cant even ping the ubuntu box by hostname [18:03] erle-: of course, a root user can always start a keylogger, and get you to give them the password. not much to do against that. [18:03] beef-supreme: yeah [18:03] erle-: i wasn't clear enough in my description of the login/decrpytion process [18:03] can i ask a question? [18:03] join /#java [18:03] erle-: barring two-factor authentication, &cet. [18:03] aeon-ltd, yes i do, but whenever i click a partition it says "authentification required" [18:03] joshua__: ask, don't ask to ask [18:04] Dulak, how is it implemented? is the user asked at login for both passwords? [18:04] guess you guys are busy ill wait a bit [18:04] anybody know how to connect Evolution to Exchange 2010??? [18:04] beef-supreme: are they encrypted? [18:04] BrainVirus: Ping is TCP/IP. hostnames are netbios [18:04] aeon-ltd, nope [18:04] (wins) [18:04] aeon-ltd, Dr_Willis, is there a crash log or anything I could check ? [18:04] ok, i want to edit a file in my c drive but it says i must be the owner of the pc... BUT i am already the administrator so what do i do [18:04] beef-supreme: when you use 'sudo thunar' can you browse them fine? (btw don't delete or change anything when using sudo) [18:05] erle-: the password is asked for once, it's hashed and matched to the password hash that root has access to, if it matches, the password is passed to the decrypt to be used as the secret. root only has access to the hash, not the original password [18:05] joshua__: Mount the drive with the proper permissions. or edit the file as the root user. [18:05] joshua__: this is in ubuntu, trying to modify files on an ntfs volume? [18:05] EastDallas: yes, but i should be able to ping the hostname. Unless you cant ping a linux box by hostname like you can a windows [18:06] ok i will try, and i am the root user... and no in my file system... it is a sound file [18:06] joshua__: assuming the filesystem is not mounted read only. You could do a --> gksudo gedit /media/thediskname/path/to./the/file [18:06] joshua__: try installing NTFS Configuration Tool from the software center [18:06] ok thanks [18:06] erle-: so root can change the login password, but without the original password, root cannot decrpyt the volume, since the hash of the password is not the password itself [18:06] joshua__: this makes it easier to edit files on those volumes by regular users [18:06] joshua__: every file is in a filesystem.. :) [18:06] is there any Linux email client that will work with Exchange 2010? [18:06] !info ntfs-config [18:06] ntfs-config (source: ntfs-config): Enable/disable write support for any NTFS devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-9 (natty), package size 89 kB, installed size 900 kB [18:07] ntfs-confif also works with vfat [18:07] ok, thanks, i am actually really new to ubuntu buuut I LOVE IT! lol [18:07] BrainVirus: you should be able to, but if ping is your only issue is it absolutely necessary that ping works for you.? [18:07] whats a good DVD backup tool thats easy to use? [18:07] Is there a way to resize title bar height in compizconfig ? [18:07] I got a 1TB hdd in my ps3 and I want to put my fav DVDs on it :P [18:08] EastDallas: thats not my only problem, i cant navigate to it. i.e. https://sauron/ebox/ should pull up the ebox interface [18:08] eiriksvin: handbrake is pretty good [18:08] but i get a server not found [18:08] thanks, ill give it a try :P [18:09] could anyone look over my boot info? [18:09] I cannot boot windows [18:09] eiriksvin: you mean video dvd -> some video file format? [18:10] EastDallas dhclient.conf sets my host name to: "" and when i change it to send sauron, it stilll doesnt work and it loses the changes i made after reboot. === sta7ic is now known as Guest38378 [18:10] BrainVirus: did you get my PM?

[18:15] eiriksvin, you can with ffmpeg [18:16] or stop a tap interface [18:16] eiriksvin: avi is just a container. You can convert whatever handbreak does to avi if you really want to.. but i dont see much point in using avi these days [18:16] well, I want to put it on my ps3 [18:17] thats why i want to backup [18:17] eiriksvin: doesn't ps3 recognize mkv or mp4 formats? [18:17] qin: sorry for the delay, no nothing worked... [18:18] idk, never tried it [18:18] BluesKaj: whats the syntax for adding it there? [18:18] I have an external NTFS partition with a bunch of empty folders, and I can't delete them I keep getting "directory not empty" even with sudo rm -f -r /foo [18:18] eiriksvin: i prefer mp4 myself, file sizes are much smaller for comparable quality [18:18] qin: are there any shortcuts that would make things like this happen for any reason? if it's any significance, it's only my left control [18:19] nameserver IP, BrainVirus [18:19] well, I'll give it a test run on my harry potter [18:20] my son loves that movie [18:20] it puts it out as an m4v ? === cypha` is now known as cypha [18:21] anyway to restart a tap interface without restarting? [18:21] strange stuff ... i installed netty and use gnome ... [18:21] eiriksvin: please keep your contributions to support, and keep then on one line (don't press so often) [18:22] when i set a theme gnome appears with this theme and sets it back to default after some seconds ... [18:22] BluesKaj: would that require a static ip for the ubuntu box? [18:22] eiriksvin: that's pretty close to an mp4 but it's an apple format, doubt the ps3 will recognize it natively, but you can convert to whatever format you need === tux is now known as Guest40431 [18:23] Where do all of my windows go when I minimize them? And how do I get them to stay on the taskbar? [18:23] BrainVirus, it's the router IP [18:23] okay [18:24] !list [18:24] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [18:24] Trfsrfr: Use ubuntu classic instead of unity [18:24] BluesKaj: i have the dns servers in there already. 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.1.2 [18:24] Trfsrfr: (alt + tab ;) ;) ) [18:24] BrainVirus, route in the terminal will give you the router IP [18:25] Trfsrfr: if using the classic gnome type desktop - there should be a window list in the bottom panel. Unless you removed it. [18:25] edbian, I am. I changed it a couple weeks ago. [18:25] hi, having big touchpad issues my my natty 64bit sony vaio [18:25] can anyone tell me where the execute session line is? [18:25] stops suddenly and then clicking does not work [18:25] Trfsrfr: ? If you're using ubuntu classic then you should see your minimized windows in the panel just like windows xp / vista [18:25] edbian, I wish that were the case. [18:26] how do you untar a file maintaining permissions and ownership? [18:26] BrainVirus, dhcp right ? [18:26] Trfsrfr: Right click the panel (I don't care which one) choose add to panel, add the window list applet (this is gnome right?) [18:27] ccta: I'm not familiar with tap interfaces but usually sudo ifconfig down and then udo ifconfig up should work [18:27] edbian, thanks again! [18:27] now I can see them. [18:27] Trfsrfr: worked I take it? Awesome [18:27] BrainVirus, the first line is, nameserver 192.168.X.X (the router IP) [18:28] Bisu[Shield]: use the --preserve flag to tar [18:28] edbian, that was making me nuts.

[18:30] BluesKaj: let me try it [18:31] for some reason tar --extract --same-owner --preserve-permissions ZendStudio-8.0.1-x86_64.tar.gz is taking forever === utnubu_ is now known as yori [18:32] Bisu[Shield]: --preserve combines --same-owner and --preserve-permissions into 1 flag, but yeah it has to do extra work on the extract, chowning and chmodding every file after it's extracted, which is a lot more work [18:32] i am the only user on my laptop and i have me as administrator... how can i make myself have higher rights, or the root user as i have heard [18:33] Hi there! I seem to have messed up my GNOME on 11.04 [18:33] hi everyone [18:33] I tried to install GNOME 3, but now I can't log-in at all anymore [18:33] k [18:33] i'll wait [18:33] Basically the screen stays where it is [18:33] !sudo | joshua__ [18:33] joshua__: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [18:33] joshua__: when the computer asks for your password for administrative privileges, that means that you run that process as root [18:33] joshua__: using sudo gives you root for whatever command you are running, root is disabled by default [18:33] joshua__: you may want to read up on how ubuntu does ownership and permissions. you should only need 'sudo' rights in special cases. [18:33] !permissions | joshua__ [18:33] Instead of loading GNOME, it just hangs [18:33] joshua__: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [18:34] Hello Everyone :) [18:34] joshua__: you don't want to, nor can you, be root all the time [18:34] Dr_Willis, thanks for your input as well. [18:34] thanks, but i thought sudo was just on terminal how can i raise privilladges on the desktop enviroment [18:35] d3ngar_: gnome3 can break unity i hear. You may want to go to the console and isntall some alternative window manager to use untill you can figure out whats broken. [18:35] !gksudo | joshua__ [18:35] joshua__: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:35] dr_Willis: thanks for the advise [18:35] joshua__: when you run certain apps that require the privileges, they will ask for your password when necessary [18:35] I do still have Unity, but it's not loading, nor is gnome3 [18:35] if those aps are written right at least. :) [18:35] should I try KDE? [18:35] And how do i install KDE/ [18:35] And how do i install KDE? [18:36] d3ngar_: try what you want. if yu just want somthing to get going thats small.. try icewm [18:36] d3ngar_: you installed gnome 3 on 11.04? that probably broke unity [18:36] ok thank you [18:36] Trfsrfr: What? Space in a folder? [18:36] d3ngar_: and there is no way to fix it [18:36] d3ngar_: install 'kubuntu-desktop' for the full kde desktop [18:36] It must be able to get fixed [18:36] That unity stuff is horrible [18:36] d3ngar_: theres lubuntu-desktop also for LXDE [18:36] eiriksvin: 'k9copy' /looks/ nice but you'll have to pull in and make a home for all those bastard kde deps [18:36] d3ngar_: you can't safely downgrade packages [18:36] libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. <- how do I fix that? [18:36] d3ngar_: i really dident find gnome3 that much better. [18:36] yeah [18:36] edbian, Im trying to put some home video into a folder, but it says there isnt enough space. But i've got 115 gig of space unused [18:37] I thought I try it [18:37] But it worked briefly [18:37] !dvd | eiriksvin [18:37] eiriksvin: 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 [18:37] d3ngar_: i tried it on a live cd. :) [18:37] Trfsrfr: What does df -h think about your disc usage? [18:37] So I try LXDE [18:37] Trfsrfr: First things first, empty your trash. [18:37] lxde is very useable these days [18:37] BrainVirus,for static IP on a LAN : http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [18:38] LXDE is *very* nice. pcmanfm on the other hand... not so much [18:38] Dr_Willis: Could gdm be the issue? [18:38] edbian, I have 144gig available in /dev/sda2 [18:38] not like its hard to change file managers. :) I like rox-filer but it takes some getting used to. [18:38] and pcmanfm is what makes LXDE, LXDE [18:38] d3ngar_: try booting to console and use 'startx' perhaps [18:38] I have installed GDM, but I undestand it doesn't use this anymore [18:38] Trfsrfr: According to what tool? [18:38] d3ngar_: Ubuntu 11.04 uses gdm. [18:39] I hear in the next release gdm is to be replaced. [18:39] edbian, according to df -h [18:39] Dr_Willis: indeed, they're moving to LightDM [18:39] Hi just rebooted my machine (natty) and logged back in to find the desktop upside down and all text mirrored....wtf! [18:39] Trfsrfr: Is /dev/sda2 your / ? Where is the folder you're trying to dump stuff into? Maybe you can pastebin df -h for me to see? [18:39] then all these people that want to change dm themes.. can be happy. :) [18:39] KM0201 ! [18:39] lindenle: Your monitor is backwards [18:40] edbian: was until I disabled the effects? [18:40] edbian: (funny joke though) [18:40] lindenle: hehehe [18:40] How could I restore the Unity desktop? [18:40] Dr_Willis: i can understand the move. what happened to the dm they hacked together themselves? [18:40] if I remove the meta package ubuntu-desktop could I just reinstall it? [18:40] edbian, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/616004/ [18:40] seriously this is just a pain (also at one point tried to use the nvidia driver which borked the whole system [18:40] d3ngar_: i havent seen any guides out on fixing unity after trying to use gnome3 [18:41] :( [18:41] I have an external NTFS partition with a bunch of empty folders, and I can't delete them I keep getting "directory not empty" even with sudo rm -f -r /foo [18:41] d3ngar_: reinstall [18:41] d3ngar_: a meta package dosent really do a lot [18:41] Trfsrfr: /host? Is this wubi or something [18:41] downgrading to gnome 2.3? [18:41] WXZ: try removing some dir on the mountpoint.. not the mountpoint [18:41] edbian, I have no idea. [18:41] for performing a read/write stress test what would be considered and ideal file size for testing? [18:41] !info bonnie [18:41] Trfsrfr: You don't know if you're using wubi? [18:41] Package bonnie does not exist in natty [18:41] does anyone know any other socks clients besides dante & tsocks? [18:41] u guys ned help hook up with Km he rocks [18:41] Dr_Willis: I can't remove any directories inside the directory itself [18:41] I am so close to going back to Debian [18:42] :5 STars for him! [18:42] edbian, I do have windows on this laptop as well... [18:42] Trfsrfr: Describe to me how you installed Ubuntu while I research [18:42] Dr_Willis: wait, nevermind, I misunderstood [18:42] WXZ: well you dont normally rm /media/mountpoint/ cd into the mountpoint and rm a dir from there. [18:42] eiriksvin, install libdvdccs2 to copy dvd without drm restrictions [18:42] edbian, I installed it from a live CD, alongside windows. [18:42] +1 karma | lindenle [18:42] Dr_Willis: I'm not trying to remove the mountpoint, I did cd into the mountpoint and rm the dir from there [18:42] still didn't work [18:42] WXZ: whats the exact command you are using. [18:43] I nominate KM [18:43] edbian, I installed it after windows [18:43] galaxy_999: totally frustrated that ubuntu does this in non beta versions... [18:43] (from the partition) sudo rm -f -r ca [18:43] Trfsrfr: Did you boot the live CD or put it in while windows was running? [18:43] Golden Pengus Award haha [18:43] ca = the name of the folder I want to remove [18:43] WXZ: i always do a rm -rf [18:43] never tried -f -r that i can recall [18:43] edbian, I dont remember, it was awhile ago. [18:43] I'll try that, don't know if it'll work though because I think it's semantically identical [18:43] Trfsrfr: can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l ? [18:44] edb sure hold on [18:44] Trfsrfr: It is very strange that you don't have /dev/sda2 mounted at / You don't have anything mounted at / [18:44] And what the heck is /dev/loop0 ? [18:44] WXZ: whats the exact error message also.. could be somthing trivial/obious wrong.. or could be the fs is read only [18:44] Dr_Willis: nope, same exact errors [18:44] edbian: used for special operations [18:44] Dr_Willis: such as? [18:44] !loop [18:44] !iso [18:44] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [18:45] I know what an iso is [18:45] edbian, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/616008/ [18:45] edbian: did you notice the -o loop option it shows? [18:45] Dr_Willis: Why does he not have a / ? [18:45] Dr_Willis: rm: cannot remove directory `ca/path_of_some_child_directory': Directory not empty [18:45] Dr_Willis: yeah. [18:45] Dr_Willis: for all the child directories [18:45] same error message [18:45] WXZ: thats.. weird.. try rmdir ? [18:46] Trfsrfr: I can tell this is a wubi install because fdisk -l only shows ntfs partitions (which are windows filesystems) [18:46] hello all is there a way for manually having the system scan for attached usb devices? lsusb does not show my external harddrive and only after unplugging/plugging a few times will it show up. [18:46] Dr_Willis: rmdir: failed to remove `ca~delete/': Directory not empty [18:46] hello could anyone help me windows will not boot === bpeters is now known as gutworth [18:46] okay, i have an issue installing ubuntu 11.04 on an inspiron 1100, mainly the display. i seen others with the issue, but no fixes. I am not familar enough to fix it on my own, can anyone help? [18:46] I think it's corrupt [18:46] edbian, I would be more than happy to remove Windows :) [18:46] ericthegreat, try installing ubuntu :p [18:46] i face a strange thing in gnome. i set a theme, nautilus appears in this theme after starting gnome-desktop. after some seconds it changes back to the default-theme ... [18:46] WXZ: you need to boot windows and chkdsk that partition, sounds like cross-linked files (ntfs in bad for this reason) [18:46] i am on ubuntu [18:46] WXZ: i was thinkin that also. FS curruption.. [18:46] lol you guys [18:46] Trfsrfr: Well you can't with wubi. How much space is your windows taking up?? [18:47] heres boot script [18:47] ericthegreat, pastebin [18:47] WXZ: it actually had a ~ in the file name? [18:47] Trfsrfr: Here is the thing. Wubi thinks it has used 90Gb of 233Gb but I see no-where the usage of windows. Perhaps wubi doesn't see the windows files on the partition it is on. [18:47] i am [18:47] http://pastebin.com/C5qRfk7s [18:47] edbian, I dont know. Im way new to this. [18:47] How hard is it to switch ubuntu to KDE? I'm using Maveric if that makes a diffrence [18:47] Trfsrfr: Is it possible that 90Gb + Windows Space = 250Gb? [18:47] Dr_Willis: no, it was ca at first then I renamed it to "ca~delete" [18:47] sda1 is windows [18:48] and have been avoiding updating as I don't want to deal with Unity before it is finished [18:48] Canageek: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [18:48] I think there is more problems: [18:48] although it does not say it [18:48] Canageek: install kubuntu-desktop package.. select kde at the login screen.. [18:48] lindenle: being that this is #ubuntu, i shall refrain from comments lest i head down the path to trolldom [18:48] not all packages were updated to gnome3 [18:48] That is it? Nice [18:48] There should be a way to do that now, no? [18:48] edbian, I suppose that is possible. [18:48] Canageek: it's easy, install kubuntu-desktop and it'll have a kde session option at login [18:48] new-one: you have not actually explained what this issue is about. [18:48] grub did this btw [18:48] galaxy_999: yeah ... see you on #debian [18:48] Can I go back to gnome if there is a problem? [18:48] worked fine after linux install [18:48] Trfsrfr: I think that is the case. How much data do you have stored in windows? You have 90Gb stored in Ubuntu (that's a ton!) [18:48] Canageek: at login screen.. select the desktop to use [18:48] brb [18:48] As I have to run gnome in fallback-mode for some reason [18:49] Trfsrfr: I have 1 80Gb hdd and it is only 50% full ;) [18:49] If my xserver loads the intel graphics module, is there any need for it to load vesa as well? Im trying to troubleshoot slow video performance on a samsung n145 plus [18:49] currently the resolution is low, and it is not detecting the display correctly. the screen is in the upper left corner, and flickers alot, though usableish... and a copy of the screen is below the original. this did not happen during install but after it is running on the system, it is doing it during bootup [18:49] You could install lubuntu,xubuntu,kubuntu,ubuntu,-desktop if you wanted all 4 :) there may be others i dont recall.. [18:49] edbian, I do have a lot of video and pics. That is part of my job so... [18:49] Canageek: yes it's just a session option on the login screen, you can choose kde, gnome, whatever is installed [18:49] sweet [18:50] Trfsrfr: That is the problem. You filled the drive using windows and wubi combined. [18:50] * Canageek breifly considers fluxbox [18:50] I recall xbmc or boxee installing its own session to the login screen also. [18:50] edbian, so why cant I remove windows? [18:50] evenin all [18:50] good evening === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [18:51] anyone look at my boot script http://pastebin.com/C5qRfk7s [18:52] i think I installed grub to sda1 (windows) [18:52] i am not sure how else to explain it === root is now known as Guest67619 [18:52] Trfsrfr: Well the way you have things right now. (the wubi install). Ubuntu is not on its' own partition. It is in a file located on the windows partition. IF you deleted windows (deleted the partition) you'd delete Ubuntu as well. There are ways to migrate wubi to its' own partition. I recommend saving your personal files (Ubuntu's /home/you folder and windows personal files) on some external drive. Erase the drive you have now, install U [18:52] buntu (alone) on it. Move the personal files into the new Ubuntu install. This would free up tons of space (probably) and get rid of windows for good. [18:52] Trfsrfr: Of course I suggest that though. I love linux!! :P [18:52] but i had no problems with 10.04 [18:53] The method I suggested is NOT migrating wubi. It is simply backing up and re-installing. Migrating wubi will probably bring a whole slew of new problems :) [18:53] Is it ok for xserver to load vesa as well as intel graphics modules? It looks like it does in Xorg.0.log and im trying to troubleshoot poor video performance [18:53] edbian, I fell in love with Ubuntu at first sight, so...I guess I will save everything elsewhere and delete windows and reinstall Ubuntu. [18:53] ok guess I will come back when you guys less busy [18:53] Trfsrfr: Another option, start deleting stuff and make room. [18:54] hate to be a bsterd I love Ubuntu but make sure there are no programs ect you need windows for [18:54] guess ill disable it and see what happens ^^ [18:54] wine is not 100% [18:54] grub normally goes to sda not sda1 [18:54] ericthegreat: What you need help with? [18:54] edbian, I just figured out how to make the one windows program I cannot live without run in Ubuntu, so I really dont need Windows anymore... [18:54] I cannot boot windows [18:54] Trfsrfr: Great! I encourage moving away from windows. (I am biased though :) ) [18:54] after I got grub [18:55] new-one: have you tried this? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+question/154469#comment-5 [18:55] ericthegreat: sudo update-grub ? [18:55] nope [18:55] ericthegreat: sudo update-grub2 ? [18:55] windows seems screwed [18:55] !details [18:55] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:55] edbian, I am not a big fan of having to 'check-in' with Microsoft everytime I want to do something, and pay this or pay that... [18:55] edbian here is my boot script file http://pastebin.com/C5qRfk7s [18:55] Hi all, I'm new to Ubuntu and this chat forum. I needed help with a little something concerning my WUBI install [18:56] Trfsrfr: I have been using linux and only linux for about 2 years now. [18:56] edbian, man I wish I had that amount of time into it. I hate not knowing my way around. [18:57] slitaz running well on vbox but not with ttylinux & dsl [18:57] Yo can someone help me [18:57] ericthegreat: Ummm, don't kill the messenger. It appears you don't have windows partition here. [18:57] does any of you surf anonymously lately? [18:57] edbian, is there a real good book, or other source of info that you can recommend to help me get to where you are? [18:57] ericthegreat: Can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l for me to confirm?? [18:57] yea 1 sec [18:57] Question - I have Ubuntu 11.04 running with Unity, but I have dual screen with my right monitor being my main. Total PITA with Unity. I heard they were going to implement functionality to put the Unity bar on the right monitor if you want it. Does anybody know if this has been added yet? [18:57] where does xserver config live these days? [18:57] Ball: !ask [18:57] !ask | ball [18:57] ball: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:58] g0rby: x auto configures for the most part. it does use the old xorg.conf if it exitsts [18:58] Trfsrfr: I did not read any books. I am not that good. I just fiddle with it a lot and look up tutorials and things in the Internet. Additionally helping people on IRC (once I was able to) is great practice because of the variety of problems [18:58] Is it possible to make Update Manager / apt default to FTP protocol instead of HTTP? [18:58] edbian: yea. i was thinking that also.. looks like windows is gone.. [18:58] Dr_Willis: :/ [18:58] ericthegreat: you borked something hard man, it doesn't even think you have a windows partition, and it lists 3 partitions that are all the exact same partition [18:58] Okay, i installed ubuntu 11.04 whilst in windows. After it installed it restarted and was verifying the install. It says 'no root file system is defined' and tells me to do somthing with the partition manager, but im not sure what. [18:58] edbian, well then that is encouraging to me. [18:58] I would be getting that feeling in my stomach right about now. Accidentally deleting an operating system is a big oops [18:58] Beltaine: Default? Whats wrong with changing the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list manually? [18:58] edbian: im still not sure how he generated that outptut. :) or why grub is on sda1 not sda [18:59] hey, anyone know a good mp3 player? like aimp in windows, small and simple GUI, i wanted to download XMMS but the site is temporary down [18:59] edbian: did that once when they had the hda -> sda change. :09 [18:59] Trfsrfr: :) I don't know that much. I think it appears that I know a lot when I know just slightly more than you. [18:59] Dr_Willis: is there a way i can stop it loading the vesa module with the autoconfig? [18:59] Dr_Willis: I think it means the portion of grub that sits in /boot/grub is located on all partitions [18:59] Dr_Willis: :/ Sorry to hear! [18:59] yassine_hell_: audacious? [18:59] edbian my right click does not work in ubuntu it seems [19:00] yassine_hell_: xmms is a good choice - try to find a mirror of it... [19:00] ... [19:00] g0rby: never noticed or needed to. [19:00] !xmms [19:00] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious or xmms2 instead. [19:00] tomreyn that option was not found in my bios... i received the system used and there is an administration password in the bios, so i am not able to change anything. i have not found a way to fix this, and i have not looked yet [19:00] Pici: Didn't know where or how to do that :) [19:00] ericthegreat: sorry :( :( [19:00] there another way to copy from terminal? [19:00] xmms is out of date. try others.. [19:00] ericthegreat: right click and copy or shift + ctrl + C [19:00] I just installed xvideo ati drivers and rebooted my machine, but it doesnt seem the ATI drivers are in effect. I've a radeon 5850. How can I configure ubuntu to start using it? [19:00] why you saying sorry lol? [19:00] ok [19:00] Dr_Willis: Im just troubleshooting poor video performance on my samsung n145 and wondering why its loading vesa as well as intel and if that might be affecting performance [19:00] ericthegreat: Cause windows has been [accidentally] deleted [19:01] trism audacious looks...big -_- .. [19:01] Okay, i installed ubuntu 11.04 whilst in windows. After it installed it restarted and was verifying the install. It says 'no root file system is defined' and tells me to do somthing with the partition manager, but im not sure what. [19:01] but as far as the option to change the crt/lcd option, i did not find it tomreyn [19:01] BedMan ok im on it [19:01] g0rby: it nomally goes down the list i dont think it affects anything [19:01] edbian it worked fine after I installed ubuntu [19:01] ericthegreat: windows did? Can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l ? [19:01] stopped working after I installed grub [19:02] ericthegreat: Can you pastebin that command please?

Total PITA with Unity. I heard they were going to implement functionality to put the Unity bar on the right monitor if you want it. Does anybody know if this has been added yet? [19:03] ericthegreat: there is no windows partition listed here. What is strange though is that you have 3 partitions with the exact same start and end numbers. I don't know what that means. [19:03] yea its weird [19:03] ericthegreat: What does gparted think of your hdd? [19:04] completely unalocated [19:04] ericthegreat: what? [19:04] but I am on ubuntu right now lol [19:04] yea lol wtf [19:04] anyone has any comments on ati drives on ubuntu? [19:04] ericthegreat: Your partition table is messed up.

[19:15] so i download Glibc2.11 from ubuntu.com. And I configure,make ,make check.Every thing is ok,until I run make install command. [19:16] aacharya, use "sudo find / -name *insert keyword here*" [19:16] beef-supreme: i don't see it there (actually, find / -name "x*conf" doesn't find anything either). does x autoconfigurate itself these days?

Ubuntu works with software repositories, building from source is not necessary [19:17] aacharya, no idea then [19:17] legacy/classic gnome desktop is not an issue with me, i am use to it. and what do i do about compiz? do i apt-get remove? and how would i install unity-2d. never used unity before [19:18] Steven_Lau: You shouln't install a different version of glibc that differs from the one that comes with it. Lots of things will break. [19:18] legacy/classic gnome desktop is not an issue with me, i am use to it. and what do i do about compiz? do i apt-get remove? and how would i install unity-2d. never used unity before. forgot to put tomreyn in the message... sorry [19:19] After the make install comand,ervery program can't executable. I can't execute make uninstall or make clean command. So I shutdown my computer. And it can't bootable now. Can anyone help me please! I dont whant to reinstall the OS. [19:19] anyone know how natty does x configuration by default? i don't see any xorg.conf on my system [19:19] Steven_Lau: see our previous messages. You should not use a different version, and certainly not building a new one [19:19] Steven_Lau: You'll likely need to reinstall. libc6 is an essential part of your operating system and trying to replace it wwill cause issues. [19:20] Steven_Lau: Secondly, Ubuntu 9.10 is no longer supported, you should be using a newer release.

[19:26] new-one: while a BIOS update can help, i'm not saying this will actually fix this issue. You need to find out why your Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device [8086:2562] (rev 03) does not work well with Ubuntu 11.04. [19:26] new-one: i'm afraid i need to run right now :-/ [19:27] I cant make Hp 1102 work on ubuntu 8.04 , should I sucide? [19:27] new-one: surely this hardware is very dated and was never too well supported (nor is it a great piece of hardware). [19:27] or upgrade [19:27] motaka2: probably suicide is overkill (forgive the pun) [19:27] is there have other ways except reinstall ? eg. Can i copy the lib dir from a good computer to the bad system to repair this problem? [19:28] tomreyn: yea, it is an old laptop, just trying to suck as much life out of it as i can [19:28] edbian: do u know of a way to meke it work ?

[19:29] hmmmmm [19:29] all are feature-rich? [19:29] sw0rdfish: w3m is installed by default on an Ubuntu Server install.

I can login with a ctrl-alt-F1 ... but what's all this? [19:34] I guess I can look at it as an awesome physical security measure [19:34] Smashcat: apt-cache search, apt-file search, most of the time the packages are in lib$something format. You're probably looking for zlibc, or if you're compiling something: zlib1g-dev [19:35] I installed and am trying to use PHPUnit. However, it seems to be missing the CodeCoverage component because it keeps trying to include PHP/CodeCoverage/Filter.php and the CodeCoverage directory doesn't exist. Does anyone know if there's another package I need (I can't seem to find it) [19:35] I installed the "Basic Server" package ... hopefully that doesn't include x-windows [19:36] AaronCampbell: I'm not a PHP person, but you can search packages.ubuntu.com by path/filename... [19:36] i am trying to compile something which needs libevent, locate libevent shows results but i still get, gevent/libevent.h:9: fatal error: event.h: No such file or directory [19:36] fission6: you usually need the -dev packages when compiling things from source. In this case: libevent-dev [19:37] right i think that is indeed the issue thanks Pici [19:37] Hi all, Im using the propriety ATI Driver and still moving a window is terribly choppy. [19:37] Pici: Thanks - searching for libz or zlib gives hundreds of options so i just did this : apt-cache search libz | awk '{print "apt-get install " $1} | /bin/sh [19:38] Smashcat: Er. I wouldn't do that if I were you. Often packages will replace one another, and you could put your system in an unusable state doing so. [19:38] My problem, if anyone's paying attention / has better googlefu than me: My system behaves very badly (applications, sometimes the whole desktop, randomly freeze for 5-60+ seconds) while doing heavy IO on USB devices. [19:38] Pici : Just figured at least one of those should include the lib ;-) [19:39] hey all, i seemed to have crashed my system during an upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 [19:39] Can anyone help me install hp 1102 printer on ubuntu ? [19:40] hello, i want to do video on demand streaming on ubuntu, how can i do that? [19:40] mari00: I had a crashed upgrade that I had to work through, can you describe yours? If it's similar to mine, the fix was easy. [19:40] Is there an elegant solution to the rt3090 driver problem? [19:40] the computer froze. i had to restart and now it wont boot. something about the drive not being mounted. i get an error ono boot that says "cannot read ´etc/udev_rules.d/z80_user.rules´ [19:41] then it says also, init: udevtrigger main proccess (438) terminted with status 1, and so on and son on [19:41] when i boot into windows (the machine is dual-boot) it cannot load the shared drive which was mounted on /home in ubuntu [19:42] or shared partition rather [19:42] mari00: Sounds similar. In my case, if I let it sit for about 4 minutes, it actually did boot up properly. How long did you wait? Was there a lot of harddrive activity? If you didn't let it finish it's fsck, you're stopping it early. [19:43] how to give full permission on NTFS hardisk [19:43] no one cant help me? [19:43] let it sit over night. i still cannot boot in. i am getting the same errors. [19:43] i am very close to just running a fresh install... [19:43] how to give full permission on NTFS hardisk [19:43] chinnappan: youll need ntfs-3g for write support, but that should be installed by default on ubuntu, on desktop editions atleast [19:43] i get the first part of this command but can someone explain what is going on after output.txt "modprobe > output.txt 2>&1 [19:44] motaka2, what have you tried so far? [19:44] mari00: Your best bet is to boot the livecd, mount the partitioni someplace such as /mnt/root, chroot to it, then finish the yum installation. [19:44] errr, apt-get installation. [19:44] #trimslice [19:45] its installed but what is the commad [19:45] (sorry noob) [19:45] marvindoppelt: http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ [19:45] how to give full permission on NTFS hardisk [19:45] tacomaster: in redirection 2 means STDERR (error) and 1 STDOUT (output), the 2>&1 redirects both STDOUT and STDERR to the output.txt [19:45] mari00: Dell Latitude D620. Basically, 'dpkg --configure -a' fixed all my problems. [19:46] cannonball: this sounds promising. the live cd would be an installation disk where you chose the try without install option, yeah? [19:46] actualy it redirects stderr into stdout and > redirects that into output.txt [19:46] mgolisch: agreed [19:46] mari00: It sounds like yours is not quite the same issue though. Maybe a clean install. Here's the chronicle of my issue: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+question/154970 [19:46] I'm note #3. [19:47] mgolisch: oCean ok ty both for the help [19:47] chinnappan: is this a server or something? [19:48] chinnappan: you can try mounting it using mount, or using the ntfs-3g command [19:48] both should work [19:48] motaka2, if you believe you followed all the instructions, what is the error you are getting?

[19:56] hey guys, what's a good way to shutdown and restart x? i used sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop but couldnt get x up and running again [19:56] I pretty much got the Gnome-shell story running (also rescued Unity) [19:56] What can I do?

[19:57] Jordan_U: guessing you meant to send that to me :) will stop and start work as well (if i need to do some work at the console while x is down) ? [19:57] aacharya: Yes. [19:57] Cleofas: reburn it? [19:57] For the 4th time? [19:57] mari00: Assuming you mounted it to /mnt/root, then you do a 'chroot /mnt/root' [19:58] Jordan_U: great. also, it looks like the network is somehow tied to x? is this for real, and if so, can i start the network while gdm is stopped? [19:58] It works on windows, but not on ubuntu. [19:58] And it doesn't run from the bios. [19:58] Cleofas: if you've burned it that many times either 1. it's a bad ISO, download again, or 2. you're not burning correctly. [19:58] Now you're in a bash shell, but it's running from your installed image instead of the cd/dvd that you booted.

[19:59] mari00: Assuming that works, try the dpkg command from the answers.ubuntu.com link I posted above. It essentially "continues" the queued up steps that the installer didn't get to finish. [19:59] Cleofas: that doesn't really mean anything, but ok. [19:59] aacharya: install wicd, it runs whether X is running or not, unlike network-manager, or manually configure your network in /etc/network/interfaces to avoid the entire mess [19:59] KM0201, what do you mean? [19:59] so i would chroot /media/lpart [19:59] u should better reinstall your Compiz, that s the only solution [19:59] !md5 | Cleo [19:59] Cleo: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:59] Cleofas: see above [20:00] can i access my www folder with out root permission..?

[20:00] KM0201, I've seen it already. [20:00] does it pass? [20:00] i know this is not the right room for this question, but i cannot connect to the correct room. does anyone know how to update the minecraft server while saving all of the data contained in it? [20:00] Jordan_U: if X isn't running, network-manager isn't either, so no network [20:00] update-manager just tells me I'm not supported anymore :) [20:00] KM0201, pass?? [20:00] Jordan_U: so how do i start the network after shutting down x with network manager? [20:01] Cleofas: nevermind... good luck w/ your problem [20:01] cannonball: i tried to run ´sudo chroot /media/lpart´and got an error [20:01] Jordan_U: which is why the very first thing I do on a ubuntu install is replace network-manager with wicd [20:01] aacharya: It's not tied to X so much as it's tied to your GNOME session, by default. If you make the connection "available to all users" and set it to connect automatically then it will connect before you login and stay connected after you log out. [20:01] I do mind, KM0201 [20:01] Dulak: ^^ [20:01] Cleofas: but i don't, like i said, good luck. === felix__ is now known as Guest90114 [20:01] do i need to have booted from a live cd of the last stable install version? because i am using an 11.04 live cd...

[20:34] shomon, you can download the ubuntu version you want on your windows then you burn it as an image on a dvd then you should then reboot using this dvd then you install your ubuntu version [20:34] is there a text alternative to "make startup disk" in ubuntu's startup disk creator? [20:34] you guys are uber smart [20:34] ah thanks wafa_ [20:34] <||cw> hold the can upside down for an extra cold blast, don't get it on your skin though [20:34] shomon u can download http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ and follow the instructions [20:34] I have downloaded it [20:35] I donn-t have a dvd. I wanted to boot from usb [20:35] shomon u configured ur bios to allow usb boot? [20:35] <||cw> shomon: you want to put the live-dvd on usb? [20:36] you are welcome but be sure to burn it not as a data dvd but as an image you should find this option on your sotware u use to burn a dvd [20:36] <||cw> shomon: I'd use unetbootin, which has ports for all the major OS's [20:36] yes cw [20:36] I do... I would like to boot off there if possible [20:36] ok i ddn't use this option, but u can i guess [20:36] <||cw> it's still a gui, but at least you get more options for making the usb bootable [20:37] what is the unix command to burn an iso to a usb if that is even possible? [20:37] hi guys === tux is now known as Guest24783 [20:37] <||cw> shomon: it's not that simple [20:37] ok [20:37] <||cw> shomon: but there are howto's out there [20:37] I'm on a recovery cd after getting hacked a while back [20:37] jst be sure tht u burn the image this way it will make your flash dsk bootable [20:37] i made this chat room [20:37] so I just downloaded an iso.. but the only thing I can burn to just now seems the external hd [20:38] i have a 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' on sony vaio 64bit and having problems [20:38] any one know a fix?

[20:39] shomon u downloaded http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [20:39] <||cw> shomon: you have to some trick to make the USB bootable, then you extract the iso to the usb, then you mess with some syslinux config to make it look in the right places [20:39] oh can you just extract an iso like a zip? [20:39] hello. How to run binary files from console? ./app works for me if i am inside app's cat; ./way-to-app/app doesnt (should it?)

[21:24] kikki: fn+brightness key or on the monitor itself ? [21:24] Firefishe, at the moment it seems to work pretty well, right? it would be interesting what the output is when wifi doenst work, so maybe reboot with killswitch off and get those outputs? also what happens in tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep wlan0 and then switch on the killswitch [21:24] if you want latest alaing [21:25] s [21:25] celthunder, it does not work.

[21:40] <_Neytiri_> how do i show hte current OS verson? [21:40] tanath: Why do you need a windows app to do that? [21:40] !version [21:40] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [21:41] !usb [21:41] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:41] edbian, because i need to remove windows malware [21:41] no hmm [21:41] Does ubuntu have a system defrag [21:41] ? [21:41] edbian, and clam sucks [21:41] kikki, you man need acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor in your default grub line - that solved brightness issues on me EEE for me [21:41] edbian, my .wine is infected [21:41] <_Neytiri_> well i guess it didnt really upgrade cause its still 10.04.2 === derp is now known as derp|gone [21:42] tanath: Mmmm, I'm not sure how you can do that. Wine apps can't see your home folder. Perhaps you could simply download the ext4 driver for windows and then run your apps natively? [21:42] hey..i backuped a partition with partimage. so i got 49 compressed files. the problem is...the first backup file got lost. is there a way to restore most of the data without the first file?

[21:42] THIS ISNT THE RIGHT SERVER [21:42] ugh [21:42] tanath: ... They why do you care about windows malware? [21:42] edbian, except in a vm [21:42] tanath: mmmm [21:42] edbian, like i said, my .wine is infected [21:42] I'm wondering how to get Ubuntu to recognize all my usb devices? [21:42] Does ubuntu have system defrag [21:42] tanath: What? [21:43] tanath: What do you mean your .wine is infected? What makes you say that? [21:43] PL4Y3R, not an issue with EXT formatted partitions [21:43] wine can get viruses? lol [21:43] PL4Y3R, ext3 can have some fragmentation issues actually [21:43] edbian, got trojans [21:43] PL4Y3R: ext automatically defrags for you with every read and write so you never have to manually [21:43] Gskellig, only a select few, but yes [21:43] edbian, can you help or not?

[21:44] can someone help me get unity working [21:44] k [21:44] edbian, need to do so from live disc. it protects itself [21:44] tanath: If I'm frustrating you I apologize. Only trying to understand so I can help [21:44] how to get starting with manpage [21:44] unity wont start for me. its not a hardware issue [21:44] ? [21:44] BE RIGHT BACK THEN AFTER I GET XCHAT [21:44] or mIRC [21:44] Nu, use irc on emacs, :D [21:44] edbian, ran something i shouldn't have. got infected. protects itself from removal, so need to do so from live disc [21:44] Wait [21:44] why the hell is this nick registerd? [21:45] I've never been on this server.. [21:45] edbian: ok modest success. i did a git on a project and ran the command you suggested. i know see the gitk window -- what about git-gui? any idea? [21:45] and plus ever since i switched from mac os to ubuntu i've been have trouble using the net [21:45] Edbian [21:45] tanath: But it's only in wine. Surely you can just delete that trojan or delete the entire .wine [21:45] edbian, user 'ubuntu' on live disc has different UID than my user, so no permission to access [21:45] PL4Y3R: extfs fragments over the time too and there is no defragmentation tool available [21:45] Can u tell me how to get all my usb devices recognized? [21:45] tanath, do you have anything installed in wine that you care about? if you don't, just delete your ~/.wine folder - problem solved ;) [21:45] Gskellig, it might be or driver issue [21:45] edbian, no, there's stuff in there i don't want to lose. and i'd have to find all the files which are infected. need to scan to even do that [21:45] !defrag [21:45] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [21:45] sneakyimp: in gitk: file -> start git gui [21:46] robin0800, its an on board intel graphics card [21:46] it worked fine in the livecd [21:46] tanath: sudo command on the live CD [21:46] edbian, ZykoticK9 i need to either run wine as root (would be easiest) or do something else [21:46] Hi im running crunchbang linux, in ubuntu what is the out put of your sudo apt-get install lamp? [21:46] edbian, running wine as root complains that /home/ubuntu/.wine is not owned by you [21:46] tanath: sudo wine somefile.exe [21:46] tanath: mmmm I see [21:46] CrazyT, there is no "lamp" packages, it is in tasksel [21:46] ever since i switched from mac os to ubuntu i've been having trouble connecting to the net.what should i do [21:47] edbian, only thing i can find googling is advice to never run wine as root. but that advice doesn't apply here [21:47] Is my text coming through? :D lol [21:47] tanath: So you wanna run some virs removal thing in wine to clean out wine itself? How do you know this trojan is even running? [21:47] edbian, i need to do so anyway [21:47] CrazyT, can't find the package [21:47] edbian, yes [21:47] yay [21:47] CrazyT, you need to install apache [21:47] edbian, uh, i know it's not, because i'm on a live disc :P [21:47] tanath: How do you know the trojan is running? Wine is not an operating system. [21:47] I used to run ubuntu i forgot what i wrote to install lamp [21:47] yo every body =3 i have a tiny problem ^^;;; anyone know how to get vsftpd working after installing and opend ports it refusses to connect and i do know i did encrypt my folders anyone that can help???? [21:47] tanath: If you boot Ubuntu is the trojan running? [21:47] edbian, but my system is rather infected. i can't remove it when system is running [21:48] 1635.. wasn't expecting that high of a number for some reason [21:48] edbian, i think so, 'cause i can't remove it [21:48] tanath: you could try clamav [21:48] edbian: thanks for that. you rule! any thoughts on integrating via file manager context menu? [21:48] overclucker, clam doesn't even detect anything any time i point it at stuff [21:48] tanath: Here is the bottom line, there is no way that a windows trojan infected your Ubuntu os through wine. [21:48] edbian, you are wrong [21:48] sneakyimp: Naw, glad I could help though! [21:48] tanath do a clean install of ubuntu that should do it [21:48] So yes. Why is this name registered? Like I said, I've never been here =/ [21:49] edbian, it certainly can happen, it's just rare [21:49] CrazyT: this channel does not provide support for crunchbang, try #crunchbang [21:49] LUEshi brain on === brianl|a is now known as brianl [21:49] tanath: You said you cannot remove it. How have you tried to remove it? [21:49] Nu: maybe try #freenode channel? This is ubuntu support [21:49] PL4Y3R, too much work remembering and reinstalling apps [21:49] i think my name is registered tooand i tried to picka really hard one lol [21:49] but if u have very important documents on your pc back up most of them [21:49] edbian, that's a silly question [21:49] Never been here as in never been on this server. [21:49] tanath,back up some stuff [21:49] oCean i know im in their also, i was once a ubuntu user too i just forgot ... My brain is just dead :P [21:49] edbian, how else would i know it can't remove it? i spend two days scanning and trying to remove [21:50] what trojan is it [21:50] tanath: Using the file manager? using CLI? as sudo? using clamav? [21:50] I have an Ubuntu question have asked twice already [21:50] CrazyT: ubuntu uses tasksel to install those packages [21:50] PL4Y3R, detects them as generic names [21:50] What do I need to do to get ubuntu to notice all usb devices [21:50] list me the names [21:50] edbian, using malware bytes, mainly. it cannot complete the scan though [21:51] =/ [21:51] tanath: In the virtual machine or in wine? [21:51] edbian, even scanning from inside VM brought down the VM [21:51] edbian, both [21:51] hi [21:51] tanath: Is the trojan 'in wine' or in the vm? [21:51] you runing 2 virus programs [21:51] edbian, did i mention i spent two days scanning and crap? :P [21:51] anyone know how to get vsftpd working after installing and opend ports it refusses to connect and i do know i did encrypt my folders anyone that can help???? [21:51] edbian, both unfortunately [21:51] !who | PL4Y3R [21:51] PL4Y3R: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:51] Koobilitoo, which one are recognized, front, back? [21:51] tanath: How did you manage that? [21:51] edbian, ran the same thing inside and outside [21:51] tanath: ahh, I see [21:51] front [21:52] i mean hold on [21:52] tanath: Well the VM has restore points. Did you ever set one? [21:52] CFC: check vsftpd-logs, what error when connecting? [21:52] edbian, yeah, but too far back.. would rather not use it. anyway, if i can get rid of it/them from wine, i should be able to manage in the vm [21:52] i didnt see that Cgroza until like it flew up the screen lol [21:52] how do u set the netmask so that every ip is included [21:52] does wine work with doom 2? [21:52] !appdb | Nu [21:52] Nu: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [21:52] edbian, i don't think my KVM+libvirt VMs have restore point ;) [21:52] Nu, should [21:52] je0rjey: /0 [21:53] HIGHLIGHTS [21:53] what happened to the power manager graph --is it possible to get it back? [21:53] ubottu how agian? lost my glasses somewhere [21:53] PL4Y3R: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:53] Nu, Doom 2 was a DOS program - it will work in DOSBOX [21:53] I think a recent natty update to xorg has created some problems in my system...Where do i report this? [21:53] It was DOS? Odd. I dont remember that [21:53] OH WELL [21:53] llutz Error: Network error: Connection refused [21:53] Error: Could not connect to server [21:53] Koobilitoo, did you do a lsusb? [21:53] tanath: So, in wine. Besides malware bytes telling you about this trojan. Can you tell it is running? [21:54] didnt know about it [21:54] i will try [21:54] tanath: Does malware bytes tell you what file it is? [21:54] CFC: " Connection refused" means, nothing listening on this port. check "netstat -tulpen" for vsftpd running, check iptables-rules etc.pp [21:54] edbian, don't think so. but i figure it must be to be shutting down mbam [21:54] edbian, no, it can't complete the scan... [21:54] it is [21:54] 22 [21:54] thats the port [21:54] CFC: 22 is ssh, are you sure? [21:54] edbian, did once, so i saw generic names, but now it doesn't even complete [21:54] unless 11.04 is changed [21:54] Koobilitoo, this will list all recognized USBs it recognizes [21:55] yes i found it [21:55] it listed all of them [21:55] but the usb stick when inserted doesnt pop up [21:55] i cant even connect with putty [21:55] it means they are detected, the problem is somewhere else [21:55] why is your text in red? [21:55] lol [21:55] CFC: what are you talking about, ssh or ftp? [21:55] edbian, anyway, i'm trying to run nod32 scanner from live disc which seems to work better, but i need to be able to point it at the folder with permissions... [21:55] i tired to open a dialouge box with you [21:55] ftp [21:55] Koobilitoo, because i address to you. [21:55] oh ok [21:55] CFC: why do you run ftp on port 22 (ssh-port)? [21:55] tanath: I have no idea. Frankly. I don't believe that you have a trojan 'running in wine' It is possible it is running in the VM (likely even). I think your best bet is to look up manual removal of the trojan for windows and do that in the virtual machine. [21:56] is it invisible to others? [21:56] tanath: sudo nod32 /path/to/folder [21:56] Koobilitoo, yes [21:56] edbian, seriously? you're doubting it's infected? [21:56] cfc what has putty to do with it? its a ssh-client, not ftp [21:56] O.o its set to that [21:56] tanath: Or whatever, if you use sudo you will not have a permission issue [21:56] is it a bad idea to install aptitude? [21:56] how do i do it too? [21:56] tanath: wine is not an operating system [21:56] edbian, i don't know what trojans are there [21:56] Koobilitoo, you need to put the username in front of the line [21:56] example please [21:56] does it mess up anything [21:56] edbian, again, can't run sudo wine. wine won't let me [21:56] well dosent putty run on 22?? [21:56] edbian, forget about the VM for now [21:56] cfc what has putty to do with it? its a ssh-client, not ftp [21:56] Koobilitoo: if you talk to a specific person, just start the line with that persons nickname. You can use tab to complete the nickname, for example type oce [21:56] tanath:is my name yellow [21:57] cgroza oh ok [21:57] edbian, why are you saying 'wine is not an operating system' i know this... [21:57] err [21:57] PL4Y3R, huh? [21:57] sw0rdfish: i prefer aptitude, it's much better at resolving dependencies than apt-get [21:57] cgroza, hi [21:57] Koobilitoo, problem solved? [21:57] let me see [21:57] vsftpd has the port 22 when installed [21:57] yes! [21:57] edbian, i just want to know if there's a way to run wine with sudo. that would be best/simplest/easiest [21:57] and putty runs the same port [21:57] CFC: not by default [21:57] Koobilitoo, ok [21:58] o.o [21:58] aha [21:58] had last time [21:58] tanath: chown root:root ~/.wine sudo wine [21:58] 1 * for Cgroza [21:58] CFC: you don't make any sense, bye [21:58] edbian, i jumped through your hoops to explain why... [21:58] u get 100 u get a kewl award haha [21:58] <.< === mike is now known as Guest55362 [21:58] tanath: I realize that. You asked how to run wine as root, that should do it. [21:58] what a support this is [21:58] i remember once in backtrack it messed up some things but i guess thats completely [21:58] different [21:58] !aptitude [21:58] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [21:58] tanath: I wont force you to do what I want. [21:59] 7j [21:59] edbian, dammit, i tried a few variations on that already that didn't work [21:59] i'm have trouble connecting to the net sometime i had mac os up here but i put ubuntu mac was fine [21:59] edbian, that did it. thanks [21:59] llutz, it says /0 is a invalid subnet mask [22:00] i need some help with an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. I am trying to upgrade my headless server usign ssh. I have downloaded the and started the upgrade. it has got to a package config screen and wants me to check libc6. what is this? [22:00] in cidr notation is it 000.000.000.000 ? [22:01] it says services to restart for gnu libc library upgrade [22:01] I keep getting /dev/sr0 is write protected.. how do I get it read write so I can burn an iso on it? [22:01] edbian, scanning away. i'll let you know what i find ;p [22:01] followed by gdm vsftpd rsync mysql con atd [22:01] what exactly is this? [22:01] tanath: sure [22:01] hey everyone [22:02] shomon, how are you trying to burn the cd/dvd? a normal cp won't work. [22:02] what is the subnet mask for all the ip addresses.. my firewall blocks all incoming packets except for those from the exception list [22:02] ZykoticK9: How do you burn a DVD via the command line? [22:02] Blubas, hi [22:02] mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/dvd ZykoticK9 [22:02] edbian, growisofs [22:02] so to set the rules what should be the source ip and its netmask [22:02] je0rjey: 0.0.0.0 makes no restrictions [22:02] Hi. I want to make one of the folders in my home folder available to other users on this computer. I have created a group and put the relevant users in it, but how do I give access to that group. Also, can I give them access to the sub-folder without giving access to the home folder? [22:02] how can i get info of any app using how much bandwidth? [22:02] any idea on how to remove all the unwanted programs I have in my Ubuntu? Removal by using Synaptic usually leads to me removing important stuff, too... [22:02] ZykoticK9: I have a .iso Can I use dd? [22:02] well, without the ZykoticK9 :) [22:02] anyone else ever use Bleacbit? [22:03] Bleachbit I mean [22:03] Blubas, programs like? [22:03] Bleachbit? What's the point? [22:03] edbian, not entirely sure - i would have said no, but just read someone using that method today (perhaps in this channel earlier) [22:03] bleachbit, yes [22:03] clooluss: yes you can. chmod : /path/to/folder [22:03] handy [22:03] Zykotick9: i need help having a net issuee [22:03] ZykoticK9: ok thanks [22:03] Bleachbit => what's the point? [22:03] shomon, that "should" mount for reading the cd/dvd ok - but you can't write with that method [22:03] cgroza, the calculator, the dictionary, sound recorder, and so on... [22:03] YankDownUnder, quick and easy way to clean up some stuff === askhl___ is now known as askhl [22:03] well, I want to write an iso to it [22:03] i have absolutely no idea why unity isn't working [22:04] free up space and get rid of clutter [22:04] how do I mount it like that? [22:04] tanath, That, my friend, is paranoia established in an MS world. [22:04] installed it twice with the same cd. first time unity worked fine, second time it wont start [22:04] hi [22:04] YankDownUnder, paranoia? what is? [22:04] for using gnome 3 i installed sudo aptitude install gnome-shell [22:04] Blubas, you can remove them with sudo apt-get remove , the others stuff are only dependencies. [22:04] is it enough ? [22:04] YankDownUnder: tanath believes that his wine has a trojan [22:04] YankDownUnder, bleachbit? it's not a security tool, how do you fit paranoia in there? [22:04] Programs like "Bleachbit" are fairly meaningless under unix/BSD/linux [22:05] edbian, i think mbam is more reliable than you [22:05] cgroza, is there any way to remove only the programs themselves, and not all the dependencies? [22:05] !gnome3 | Night-Hacks [22:05] Night-Hacks: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [22:05] IF there's a trojan/backdoor under WINE, that is easily resolved by just deleting the root of the WINE prefix. [22:05] !bleachbit [22:05] how do you mount a dvd so it's writable? (it is a drive that can write to dvd) [22:05] tanath: I believe malwarebytes is finding a file that is a trojan. I do not believe that trojan is running [22:05] YankDownUnder, i know, but there's stuff in there i don't want to lose [22:05] Is there an up to date guide similar to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH [22:05] YankDownUnder, that was my suggestion ;) [22:06] edbian, you have nothing to base that on [22:06] xangua: so ive just installed gnome-shell [22:06] trying to install 32bit office 2010 (single exe file) on Ubuntu 11.04 (wine ver. 1.2.2 ), extraction ends with "Setup Errors" - need msxml ver. 6.10.1129. How can Fix thix? Is there anybody who succeeded - according to this http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=31 I guess not. Thanks for any help. [22:06] Gents/Ladies - is anyone finding the apt-get update process slow this evening? [22:06] not gnome3 [22:06] tanath, Then you can manually look in the WINE prefix and find what's NOT supposed to be there...besides, it's hard to write to the WINE registry, or get the WINE registry to do anything without your express knowledge... [22:06] edbian, there are apps that run every time wine is run, for instance. no reason a trojan can't do same. and would explain why mbam shuts down before finsihing scan when it gets to a certain point [22:06] tanath: wine might not have a trojan isnt it a windows emulator [22:06] Tommo: pick a different mirror if the download is slow. [22:06] bolovanos, try in #wine-hq (i think) [22:06] #winehq [22:07] PL4Y3R, it's a compatibiility layer [22:07] bastidrazor - thanks - will try that (doh!) [22:07] qin, thanks [22:07] Tommo: you're welcome. that is the most common fix for an overloaded mirror [22:07] thx - already in just nobody react :( ... waiting [22:07] YankDownUnder, simpler to use tools that know how to deal properly with the malware. manual removal isn't as reliable anymore [22:07] edbian: that got me "chmod: invalid mode: `matt:home' " where matt is my username and home is the groupname - surely I should have some permission bits in there somewhere..? [22:08] some of the User-Ids cause me great Joy :D [22:08] malware has been getting more and more advanced and difficult to remove [22:08] well i don't belive it's a trojan some times when a virus program picks up something from another os or in you case and emulator it well alert u saying it's a trojan [22:08] tanath, thats why i use linex [22:08] tanath, not on gnu/linux systems ;) [22:08] clooluss: sorry, chown! not chmod :P [22:09] sixfour [22:09] tanath, Bleachbit has been known to hose a linux box, mate....by mucking with system libs and processes that shouldn't be mucked with. But hey, whoever wants to install it, well, that's yer story... [22:09] i'm sorry, but you guys don't know enough about what you're talking about [22:09] Chown is present tense for already starting to eat am Chown? lol [22:09] YankDownUnder, if you don't knwo what you're doing, yeah it can do that [22:09] YankDownUnder, wouldn't recommend it for everyone === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [22:09] tanath: what apps run when wine runs? [22:10] ok that looks more promising. i will log out now and test it from another user accounts. Thanks. [22:10] edbian, spybot beta for instance [22:10] tanath, I don't and won't use it for my clients - nor here in the lab - regardless. [22:10] edbian, 2.0 [22:10] ZykoticK9: rootkits for *nix make it plenty hard to detect/remove malware. i remember a story bout 2-3 year ago where someone found their linux box had been owned for a good long while but hidden due to a rootkit [22:10] im using kernel 2.6.32 on my ubuntu 10.04 [22:10] YankDownUnder, mm. i don't really use it either TBH, i just found it handy for a few things. and i'll prolly stick to those things when i run it again [22:10] maco, lol 2-3 years ago eh? Imagine for a moment the number of windows infections in that time ;) [22:11] how can i update to latest kernel ? [22:11] ZykoticK9: bigger targets get hit more? who'da thunk [22:11] !latest | Night-Hacks [22:11] Night-Hacks: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [22:11] Night-Hacks, you must compile it from the latest branch [22:11] maco:u talkin bout a botnet [22:11] tanath: if you rename the .wine directory and start with a clean one, the renamed one will be inert in the meantime (since wine will only look for the correctly named one), allowing you to pick through what's good/bad [22:11] maco, bad logic there - aren't servers more appealing to "own" then home computers - linux dominates that market [22:11] maco, yeah, and once you have a rootkit you can never be sure of being clean again [22:11] so what's the stable for my version ? [22:12] PL4Y3R: there was a trojan in 2009 on gnome-look.org that put you onto a botnet too [22:12] maco, i know this. tried that... no good. seems to run any time wine runs [22:12] Yes, my machines where in botnet for years, it was called SETI ;) [22:12] maco, or possibly without wine [22:12] tanath: oh now thatd be interesting. first to report a new linux malware strain.... [22:12] Night-Hacks, I am sure google will tell. [22:13] maco:i know how to start one i'm not comlelty usless [22:13] Night-Hacks: packages.ubuntu.com [22:13] maco, 'tis certainly possible anyway [22:13] maco, i'd rather do something i'm reasonably sure will get rid of stuff. scanning from live disc [22:13] tanath: well if its a new linux virus, there wouldnt be a definition for it yet.... [22:13] Maco:but now a days it hard tryin to get away with a botnet to easy to pick up unless your king of leet [22:14] maco, no reason to think it's a virus. i do suspect rootkit though [22:14] PL4Y3R: just how many people do you think sit around checking their netstat output constantly? [22:14] maco, spybot beta 2 has rootkit stuff and it found stuff in the vm, which is also infected [22:14] maco, pou would need to enter your password to install that virus [22:14] cgroza: so? [22:14] maco: alot of paroind people [22:14] maco, two things. one of which was MSE rootkit stuff (which i removed in ignorance) and the other unknown [22:14] maco, big STOP [22:14] cgroza: "hi, i'm a new theme!" "ok! *enter password to install theme*" [22:15] cgroza: the trojan in '09 claimed to be a screensaver [22:15] maco, that's why repos exist [22:15] maco, well all detections i've seen thus far have been generic trojan/rootkit stuff [22:15] i'm pr0n, gimme yout passwd to see my boobs [22:15] cgroza: yes, but not everybody follows the "stick to the repos" advice === MiDGET is now known as Guest36536 [22:15] cgroza: a lot of people are just plain gullible...or impatient [22:15] maco: but it wouldnt happen if you wouldnt download stuff you not supposed to the people that check there netstat alot are the people who download from piratebay [22:15] maco, their bad, it still cannot transmit from PC to PC like in windows [22:15] iridium: mypass [22:15] maco, that's what system monitor applet is for [22:16] !ot [22:16] #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! [22:16] I'm afraid the chown command didn['t work either - I logged in as the other user and tried to ls into the folder but access was denied [22:16] PL4Y3R, cgroza: does the fact that people *shouldn't* install untrusted software change the fact that they *do*? [22:17] maco, of course not, but infections would be isolated, so it is not a big deal [22:17] qin: KTHXBYE [22:17] maco: well people that do are stupid then next thing u know the fbi is bustin down your door [22:17] PL4Y3R, not necessarily. everyone makes mistakes [22:17] Hello. I have a question. I am trying to triple boot my late 2009 iMac with Mac OS X, Windows 7, and Ubuntu Studio Natty Narwhal. [22:17] PL4Y3R: you realise you just called like 99% of computer users stupid? [22:17] I created the user from the system > admin > users and groups gui. Should i have created it from the command line instead? [22:18] PL4Y3R, and FBI... what? [22:18] It loads Ubuntu, but I gt a blank sereen. [22:18] *screen [22:18] maco, the greatest security risk is the user. [22:18] maco: i'm talkin bout torrenting what u talkin bout [22:18] PL4Y3R: trojans [22:18] everlast21: Does it boot OK from a live CD? [22:18] PL4Y3R, you assume torrenting is bad? [22:18] cgroza: of course. which is why "linux is totally secure" is a bunch of bologna [22:19] if you want more secure, try openbsd [22:19] clooluss: no that's fine [22:19] maco, does anyone actually think/claim that? [22:19] I thought Ubuntu Studio does not have a live option. I get the install screen, but that's it. [22:19] I've got a machine throwing disk errors at me that I want to reboot. 'reboot' and 'shutdown -r now' both return with no errors but do nothing. Anything else I should try before the power switch? [22:19] tanath: yup [22:19] indeed [22:19] pcpower: no computer is secure if it has a power source [22:19] tanath: no not that bad i used to torrent i quit when my pc messed up [22:19] maco: I said "more secure", not "secure" [22:19] maco, do a fresh install, leave it running connected to the internet and it is secure, put a user in front of it, its over [22:19] rww, heh, well if you take such comments in the context they were intended in they might be more reasonable... [22:19] how can I check what groups have what permissions over a particular folder? [22:19] maco, "no computer is secure if it has a power source" < awesome ;) as well as true. [22:20] clooluss: ls -l /path/to/folder [22:20] biggest problem is the user. easiest way to secure pc is to unplug from internet bla bla [22:20] ls [22:20] PL4Y3R, you blame torrenting? rather than your ability to determine what to download/run? :P [22:20] cgroza: depends how many zero day exploits you know :) used to be you could pwn a macbook through the ethernet drivers [22:20] hello, how can I recover files from an ext4 formatted harddisk? [22:20] !undelete [22:20] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [22:20] !undelete | D3814N [22:20] or was it wireless? meh. network driers [22:20] D3814N: please see above [22:20] maco, what are the chances of that happenning on my PC? [22:21] maco, and what are the chances of that happenning on windos :P [22:21] D3814N, apply what is said about ext3 to ext4 as well i'm afraid [22:21] cgroza: how common's your hardware and how many people are out to get you? [22:21] maco, common, 0 [22:21] hello there [22:21] tanath: that was when i was a computer noob [22:21] mm [22:21] drwxr-x--- [22:22] during apache installation i got postgresql is that normal ? [22:22] tnx ZykoticK9 [22:22] PL4Y3R, i take issue with the implication that torrenting is bad though [22:22] clooluss: is that a question? [22:22] tanath: I really cannot listen to you anylonger? Are you just silly sysadmin, or trying be interesting? [22:22] clooluss, do you understand what the drwxr-x--- means? [22:22] PL4Y3R, it's one of the most efficient means of mass distribution [22:22] D3814N: I was through that process recently, I got about 2% or less of relevant data out of it, though it was always something. [22:22] qin, what'd i say? [22:22] qin: oh thank god. I thought I was going crazy [22:23] tanath: Whole this tyrade, focus on support. [22:23] tanath: u gonna let him talk to u like that [22:23] hahahahaha [22:23] qin, what'd i say? [22:23] edbian - that is the output of the ls command you recommended. [22:24] clooluss: those are linux file permissions http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilesp.html [22:24] also tnx arand [22:24] clooluss: read up :) [22:24] clooluss, that means the user owner of that directory has full permissions - group owner has read and ENTER and everyone else has no rights! [22:24] i wish this was like the piratechat but it got shutdown :( [22:25] ok, so characters 5,6 and 7 represent the group permissions - is that ALL groups or can I narrow it down to certain groups? [22:25] clooluss: it's the group owner listed to the left of that. It goes that thing, owner, group owner, everybody else when you look at ls -l [22:25] clooluss, SUUUGGGOOO - S for special, U for User, G for group, and O for other - everything else [22:26] So if other users in my group can theoretically read and execute that folder, why do I get an "access denied" error when i log in as one of those users and try to ls the folder? I have checked group memberships. [22:26] clooluss, the 5-7 is the group owner - also listed in the ls -l [22:26] clooluss: Is the file owned by that group? [22:27] clooluss: Who and what group owns the folder? [22:27] tanath: Did you find that trojan yet? [22:27] I guess I own the folder. I created it. i just want the other users to be able to see the files in it. [22:28] edbian, actually, just found some adware which crashed the scanner... even from live disc... O_O [22:28] clooluss, could you give the full output of "ls -l"? [22:28] clooluss, by default the group will probably you YOUR user as well (both user and group as you) [22:29] edbian, '...encountered a serious error and needs to close..." [22:29] drwxr-x--- 70 matt home 12288 2011-04-30 00:27 Photos [22:29] matt is my username. home is the group I created. [22:29] clooluss, oh that's owned by matt and the group is home - but home can't write to that directory [22:29] edbian, perhaps it has a 0day buffer overflow that affects malware scanners? [22:29] home can't read it either [22:30] edbian, would explain why it seemed to be protecting itself no matter how i scanned it [22:31] I need a unity PRO [22:33] Hi everyone! [22:33] hi [22:33] hi === fern is now known as Guest20709 [22:33] i'm using xubuntu10.10 and i need to fix scanner problem: i've a canon mp160 multifunction. printer works well but xsane recognize the scanner but cannot comunicate with it.. some suggestions? [22:35] I am trying to install a package. I am told the following: "the shell commands `./configure; make; make install' should [22:35] configure, build, and install this package." Does this mean that I need to input such commands followed by the package name? [22:35] i want to share some files for downloading at a remote location, and have a spare power edge 2650 server. Whats the best/fastest way to do it, FTP, or like samba or something? [22:35] boson12: No, what you intend to install? [22:35] boson12, no, you cd into the source folder and run those commands [22:36] !compile | boson12 [22:36] boson12: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [22:36] boson12, it is rocommended to install it from a deb or repos, so you can uninstall it later easily. [22:36] i am trying to give other users on my pc access to a folder in my home folder. I have created a group and put boith users in it. I have changed the group permissions to r-x. The other user still gets "access denied" when trying to ls the folder. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? [22:36] edbian, according to wine crash output it tried to schedule a job [22:37] edbian, damn thing tries to infect anything that scans it [22:37] hello [22:37] hi [22:37] Thanks everyone, let me try what you've told me. [22:37] how can I use the fact that $HOME/bin is in the user's path? [22:38] bencc, "echo $PATH" [22:38] hi [22:38] I've tried creating a test.sh in $HOME/bin/test.sh but can't run it if I'm not in this folder [22:38] bencc, oh sorry misread - but scripts/bins in that directory [22:38] bencc, that's how it should be [22:38] bencc, is it executable? "chmod +x test.sh" [22:38] bencc, current working directory isn't in $PATH for security reasons [22:38] bencc, did you mark it executable? [22:39] ubottu, by "pre-built packages" you mean packages that are already compiled? [22:39] boson12: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:39] bencc, need to specify path with ./something [22:39] ZykoticK9: it's not there [22:40] bencc, what's not there? "chmod ~/bin/test.sh" ? [22:40] tanath, isn't that for running scripts in current directory? [22:40] that's my path: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [22:40] cgroza, or to whatever path you specify [22:40] cgroza, like, ./path/to/app [22:40] ZykoticK9: maybe I need to login again? [22:41] bencc, if you just created the ~/bin directory - log out / back in and try the "echo $PATH" again [22:41] bencc, it does not seem that your directory is in the path. [22:41] bencc: your test.sh is not in path [22:41] ZykoticK9: ok [22:41] tanath, thanks [22:41] np [22:41] i am trying to give other users on my pc access to a subfolder in my home folder. I have created a group and put both users in it. I have changed the group permissions on the subfolder to r-x. The other user still gets "access denied" when trying to ls the folder. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? [22:41] ZykoticK9: hm, I think he can just export PATH, or source .bashrc [22:42] qin, true! [22:42] Hi, I m testing Ubuntu 11.04 for the first time and I checked the opened connections with netstat. Can someone explain to me why there are connection to cannonical.com? e.g. barbadine.canonical:www CLOSE_WAIT tbarth 23625 1760/gvfsd-http [22:42] clooluss, change ownership on folder to group? [22:42] after login it works [22:42] tanath: how do I do that? [22:43] petrolman: Are you using Ubuntu One? [22:43] ZykoticK9: cgroza: qin: after login again "test.sh" works [22:43] clooluss, chown user:group [22:43] hi. I recently installed windows xp on an extra partition. How do I reinstall the ubuntu bootloader? I've done it with the old grub in arch linux but I don't know how to do it with the new one [22:43] clooluss, man chown [22:43] if it's different at all [22:43] Hey everyone I wanted to ask a question.

[22:54] pstewart, unless you're suggesting he shouldn't need root [22:54] So I just put sudo ./ubuntuchrome.run and it'll run? [22:54] tanath: depends whether you are root or not, but yeah :) [22:54] lahwran: Thunar may be of interest to you. [22:54] pstewart, well he was asking how to run as root, yes? [22:54] I have read the man chown and I really don't understand what is going. Do i want it owned by a user or a group? What is the difference?

[22:58] clooluss, files/folders are owned by both [22:58] help i did a sudo aptitude full-upgrade it gives me W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9A06AEF9CB8DB0 what do i do? [22:59] clooluss, you should be user owner, and you should be in the group taht you give its ownership to [22:59] tanath; If they are owned by boht... what is the point of changing ownership with the chown command? [22:59] clooluss, the user:group specifies the files user and group ownership === Guest78546 is now known as djmaster2437 [23:00] clooluss, because you can set user and group permissions. as rightful owner you want to be the user owner, but you want to set group permissions so those in said group can do things [23:00] clooluss, then you add users to said group [23:00] did Guest78546 leave or change nics? [23:01] clooluss, maybe google 'chown' for examples and explanations [23:01] when i did the terminal sudo apt-get upgrade it gives me ( W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9A06AEF9CB8DB0 ) what do i do plz help me [23:01] tanath: So.... the folder is owned like this: drwxr-x--- 70 matt home 12288 2011-04-30 00:27 Photos and both users are in the group "home" - but if log is as the other user and try to ls the folder, it says "access denied." I don't see where I've gone wrong. [23:01] djmaster2437, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1119287 === chris_ is now known as pvthodson [23:02] djmaster2437, in future use the add-apt-resporitory (or similar) command for adding PPAs and it will look after the key stuff for you [23:02] Have everyone notice that ubuntu 11.04 is extremely slow and unstable or it is only with my machine???? [23:03] clooluss, sorry your grammar is unclear from the word "log" on.. [23:03] hello there [23:03] what is git ? [23:03] clooluss, "is as"? [23:03] zertyu, source code / development software [23:03] hey everyone [23:03] sorry. If I log out of my user and log in as the other user in the group"home" I should be able to access the other folder. But I don't - I try to ls the subfolder but it tells me "access denied" [23:04] i don't get ZykoticK9 [23:04] hello, I have just downloaded a recently large file and accidently closed it without saving. Any chance that it is still retreivable on my computer? [23:04] clooluss, er, try making the user owner group as well [23:04] zertyu: A code management system developed by Linus Torvald - the creator of linux [23:04] zertyu, i "believe" it's Linus' replacement to cvs (if you know what that is) [23:04] KaTo, unstable yes a bit but slow not particularly. mostly i notice flash heating up the computer to the absolute max [23:04] clooluss, so, chown groupname:groupname [23:05] missong perand after home: home [23:05] ? === KurtBhome is now known as KurtB [23:05] are you talking git clone ? ZykoticK9 [23:06] zertyu, git clone - will copy from a git repository to your local machine [23:06] tanath; I tried the command chown home:home and it responded with "missing operand after home:home" [23:06] #tokyotosho @ irc.rizon.net [23:06] is it same as apt and wget ? ZykoticK9 [23:06] clooluss, oh, operand. yeah, i didn't specify.. i thought you had a handle on how to use the command. you have to tell it what you want to operate on [23:07] Problem people, can't update to Pitivi v0.14 [just released]... Dependency problem [23:07] zertyu, not even close to either really - it's for getting source code [23:07] clooluss, basically you said 'do this' and it said 'to what'? [23:07] "/media/3039-3366/DCIM/MOVIES/test.webM" [23:07] OK, i tried again with the folder path at the end. Now it says "invalid user home:home" [23:07] ok [23:08] clooluss, worth a shot :P [23:08] i can't find this package ? libpng12 [23:08] "pitivi: Depends: python-gtk2 (>= 2.18) but 2.17.0-0ubuntu2 is to be installed" is the actual error...

[23:08] pstewart, he got that === KingTarquin_ is now known as KingTarquin [23:08] tanath: obviously not, since he did chown : [23:09] pstewart, at my suggestion. was a hail mary of sorts === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [23:09] tanath: Do I need to give the other user / group access to the home folder that my Photos folder lives in? [23:09] clooluss, no [23:10] This is very frustrating... >:-/ [23:10] :-) [23:10] clooluss, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=350067 see long post [23:11] clooluss: where is this folder you are trying to share access to... /home/matt/Photos ? [23:11] ZykoticK9, the info u gave me failed any other? [23:12] pstewart. That is correct. [23:12] clooluss: ok, then yes, you will probably need to grant the group 'home' access to /home/matt [23:12] clooluss, you can right-click to change permissions if you don't want write access [23:13] pstewart, shouldn't [23:13] pstewart, doesn't actually. that's a higher up folder [23:14] djmaster2437, did you run http://paste.ubuntu.com/616165/ [23:14] ZykoticK9, yes [23:14] Would I solve the problem by moving the photos folder somewhere else on the HD? Somewhere higher up in the hierarchy or a different partition? === kassius is now known as mercvrivs [23:15] djmaster2437, looks like the wine PPA has been updated since you installed, for instructions see https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa [23:15] I'm trying to setup a bridged connection on a ubuntu machine. It can see the local network fine but will not resolve Internet addresses. It simply says unknown host, can anyone help? [23:15] ZykoticK9, Thank you [23:15] clooluss: put a symlink in the 2nd users home directory to your photos. give them access tot he photos directory by giving them group rights. [23:16] Firefishe, hey anything new? [23:16] Problem people, can't update to Pitivi v0.14 [just released]... Dependency problem [23:16] "pitivi: Depends: python-gtk2 (>= 2.18) but 2.17.0-0ubuntu2 is to be installed" is the actual error... [23:16] How does one now resolve this? [23:17] bastidrazor - the group rights thing does not seem to work. I created a group, put both users in it, changed permissins on the folder to group+rx and the other user can't see the folder in question. [23:17] tanath: ahh, righ tyou are.. my bad [23:17] it's been a long day :P [23:17] RevSpecies116, see if you can find a PPA with python-gtk2 >= 2.18 [23:17] pstewart, no one's immune to mistakes :P [23:17] eipi-1_: Yeah, Here's the output from the killswitch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/616149/ [23:18] clooluss: the folder itself needs execute also. the files inside do not. [23:18] pstewart, or can be expected to know everything [23:18] Any pointers to why my dell laptop mic isnt working on natty? worked on hardy. [23:18] clooluss: i read that as rw.. you made a symlink too? [23:18] RevSpecies116, you might be interested to see !latest (although the stability claim is a lie) [23:18] Hello ALl - I've got a few problems with desktop management. I run Xfce4 as my desktop manager and (before the update to 11.04) compiz as my window manager. After the update Nautilus attempts to take over the desktop on every login (removed this issue by removing nautilus but I would like a better solution) - and I can not get compiz to manage drawing the windows. [23:18] ZykoticK9: Looks like it's in the gtk2-dev package [23:18] OK, I have chmodded it to +x - i will swith users now and try it out. I might be back shortly. [23:19] RevSpecies116, there you go! [23:19] hello [23:19] tanath: haha yep.. i've been working on windows servers all day... i guess i've had parent folder inheritance ingrained in me today [23:20] pstewart, i figure that's not the issue since the permissions of the folder have been directly fiddled with [23:20] Didn't work :-( [23:21] drwxrwx--- 70 matt home 12288 2011-04-30 00:27 Photos [23:21] How can I access my ubuntu install from a liveusb? [23:21] clooluss, as the other use, type "groups" and verify that home is listed [23:22] mattk: mount the partition [23:22] Firefishe, switching off/on after boot with 'on' is no problem? [23:22] clooluss, you might be able to use "su OTHERUSERNAME" in a terminal to switch to that user (if you are logging in / out) [23:22] mattk, are you using a netbook ? [23:22] halvor: can I install applications to it as well === zach is now known as Guest53861 [23:22] mattk: i guess no === Guest53861 is now known as redstar [23:22] i ran the groups command from this user, it responded like this: heather : heather fax cdrom floppy audio video plugdev fuse netdev home [23:22] eipi-1_: I haven't tried that, yet.

[23:25] Trying to install Ubuntu via a mini-cd. Do I have to pick "ubuntu desktop" at the end to install a graphical environment? [23:25] whenever i start supertux it shows the untity screen at a smaller resolusion and then when it quit, unity freezes [23:25] when i do dual monitors, when i have firefox opened up and say.. click on some links or open up a page, sometimes the page appears completly black. and it refreshes once i move the window. Anyone know how to fix this? [23:25] Sleeparoo: no [23:26] halvor, you might want to check out Handbrake (it's not in the default repository however), there is a PPA [23:26] eipi-1_: Back. The switch seems to work just fine after rebooting with it ON. [23:26] djmaster2437: I can ssh into the liveusb. That's what I am on right now [23:26] ZykoticK9: tried that...i can't install handbrake [23:26] edbian, ok, thanks [23:26] ZykoticK9: at least not from the ppas i've found so far [23:26] halvor, sorry i don't have any other suggestions. Good luck. === aaron is now known as Guest51781 [23:27] I accidently pressed the windows + d key of my keyboard, the Unity desktop went crazy. [23:27] Sleeparoo, you can use ubuntu-minimal [23:27] how do I delete a gateway route for a interface ? [23:27] tanath, I think that's what I'm doing. [23:28] Firefishe, strange.. As i too have a intel chip (6300) and a killswitch i will reboot and check that. brb [23:28] ZykoticK9: maybe it's a bit shameful but i'll try to use the win version of handbrake under wine :) [23:28] mattk, can u get into terminal?

[23:29] RevSpecies116, don't use the latest version? [23:29] Sleeparoo, i'm not familiar with this mini-disc install, but it's in the repos, yes. you can install ubuntu-minimal if you want to uninstall ubuntu-desktop [23:29] ZykoticK9: That is certainly one solution :) [23:29] can anyone help me? I need supertux [23:30] tanath, I'm installing the mini-disc, BUT I only want to have the graphical scheme, i.e. no OpenOffice, no Evolution, etc [23:30] The computer is on. I have the liveusb in it and I have a terminal [23:30] Sleeparoo, then you want minimal [23:30] Sleeparoo, -desktop depends on evolution i think [23:30] Is supertux a Cereal, redstar ? [23:30] lol [23:30] no the game [23:30] tanath: Sleeparoo ubuntu-desktop will install gnome which definitely has evolution. [23:31] Sleeparoo: What gui do you want? Gnome requires evolution IIRC [23:31] need help with x11 forwarding on ubuntu 11.04 [23:31] Oh, did I just loose it... The game, that is? [23:31] i hav a problem w/ the game freezing [23:31] edbian, I just want some gui that has the least possible things, and then I want to install new stuff from there [23:31] edbian, gnome doesn't require evolution, i think. i use gnome, yet typically uninstall evolution [23:31] pvthodson: what specifically about it? [23:31] hi [23:31] djmaster2437: how do I mount the / partition? [23:31] and it freezes unity too [23:31] tanath I'm RTFM right now. I was just hoping for a quick answer. Thanks though ^^ [23:31] Sleeparoo, ubuntu-minimal is what you're looking for [23:31] Sleeparoo: I would go with lxde or xfce There are MANY GUIs to choose from. [23:32] I can get applications but not a fully desktop [23:32] i got this odd message from get.adobe.com/flashplayer. when i selected 10.04 download for 64bitflash player, it prompted for updating maverick sources.list then apt-curl tried to load it, then it said - adobe-plugin was virtual? what can i do now? [23:32] juniper_, mm. i don't recall off top of my head, so i'd be doing that to help you :P [23:32] tanath, remove evolution will remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage... can cause issues, especially if trying to update. [23:32] tanath, ok, I'll see if I have that option [23:32] ZykoticK9, taht's what ubuntu-minimal is for [23:32] mattk, what session r u runing? [23:32] pvthodson: That's what x forwarding is. You can come close to a full desktop if you run nautilus and gnome-panel [23:32] tanath, well not really - but i see your point [23:32] Sleeparoo, dunno if you can get that option during install, but can make changes after [23:33] ZykoticK9, oh? [23:33] I was told you can get an entire gnome-session [23:33] ZykoticK9, if it's buggy without ubuntu-desktop, that'd be bugs, yes? [23:33] Does anybody know anything about sarg and how to install it? Namely, I am having issues getting the webinterface working for it i.e. viewing reports [23:33] ZykoticK9, -minimal is there for a reason [23:33] tanath, not for Ubuntu. [23:33] are there any possible problems with using a fedora live cd to gparted change the size of ubuntu / and /home partitions? [23:33] tanath, minimal is debian without Ubuntu stuff, why not just install Debian? [23:34] auk, shouldn't be. partitions are partitions [23:34] tanath, I'll see twhat I have... [23:34] ...besides the standard "always back up before resizing a partition with data" [23:34] anyone know why screen becomes inverted and upside down when 'classic' is chosen in login menu? [23:34] ZykoticK9, is it? hunh... [23:34] i'm using xubuntu10.10 and i've a multifuction canon mp160 and printer works well but i've some problem with scanner... xane recognize the scanner but cannot comunicate.. some suggestion [23:34] ZykoticK9, i like ubuntu, i just don't want some of the apps -desktop depends on. like bluetooth stuff. my comp doesn't even support it [23:35] tanath, oh i hear that! === TrD_ is now known as TrD [23:35] prova [23:35] sa [23:35] sa [23:35] sa [23:35] djmaster2437: session? sorry [23:35] stefjord80: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:35] sorry [23:36] tanath: ok thank you and... question about workings of gparted, when, say, making a / partiton smaller by 3 gigs, and sliding a /home partition over to use those 3 gigs, will data for the home partition actually be moved? the partition with remain more than large enough in both directions for the data on it [23:36] hi i use 11.04(upgraded from 10.10) and sound dosen't work. i also have troubles with applications, these troubles aren't related to sound but with hicolor-icon-theme ideas? [23:36] i'm using xubuntu10.10 and i've a multifuction canon mp160 and printer works well but i've some problem with scanner... xane recognize the scanner but cannot comunicate.. some suggestion [23:36] pff##&&!! it's insane [23:36] hipo won't start [23:36] and the error message i get is only [23:36] auk, in that case, yes it should be [23:36] auk, will take a while [23:36] Firefishe, back. no problem to connect... [23:36] Juest: Ubuntu, and not another varient? [23:36] yes, main ubuntu desktop [23:37] mattk, xfce, gnome, ect. [23:37] does anyone know how to start a remote gnome-session through x11 forwarding? [23:37] auk, if you move the partition, or expand it to the left, it moves the data in my experience [23:37] tanath, the whole contents of the /home partition will be shifted 3 gigs over? [23:37] .gtkrc-2.0:4: the picture can not be found on pixmap_path: „/home/xxx/Nyilvános/panel-bg-and.png [23:37] auk, yup [23:37] pvthodson: ssh in and run nautilus then run gnome-panel I already told you this [23:37] auk, hopefully you only need to do it once.... try to get it right :P [23:37] eipi-1: I've played around with the switch before. It seems to just bring up the interface for a split second, but it drops it. [23:37] pvthodson, use VNC/NX for full desktop remote access - SSH + X forwarding works great, for individual applications [23:37] does anybody have some issues with wobbly windows, they lag and are pixelated [23:37] djmaster2437: I have ubuntu 10.04 install on virtualbox and that's how I ssh into the liveusb. My monitor doesn't work on my laptop so I'm trying to connect via my desktop [23:38] ok thanks guys [23:38] anyone know why screen becomes inverted and upside down when 'classic' is chosen in login menu? [23:38] eipi-1: It's like something is trying but it's not latching onto something. [23:38] OKies, steo one: On the Ubuntu Classic desktop, goto System->Preferences->Sound and check your soundcard is on the Hardware Tab [23:38] no ubuntu-minimal, I decided to go for the manual package selection === marrusl_afk is now known as marrusl [23:38] Firefishe, in your pastebin you had some "device state change: 3 -> 2 (reason 0)" where i get "device state change: 3 -> 4 (reason 42)" [23:38] eipi-1: I don't know if it's kernel issues or what. [23:38] tanath: aww all 117 gigs :(... and the potential for data corruption in all that moving [23:38] auk, never had a prob with corruption or anything. should only be a prob if there's a power failure or something [23:38] Firefishe, what version are you running? kernel and ubuntu [23:38] auk, even then, could very well be recoverable [23:39] tanath: well basically i overestimated the space i needed for / at install time, i guess i'll just leave it with some extra space [23:39] ummmm [23:39] auk, how much? [23:39] ...... [23:39] auk, i gave mine like 18gb and ended up needing 2 more [23:39] vnc is to laggy for me to use are there any other alternatives [23:39] pvthodson: nx [23:39] does anyone else hav unity freeze if u star supertux [23:39] eipi-1: Lucid 10.04 LTS and 2.6.32-32-generic [23:39] 18g for / ? [23:40] is that freenx [23:40] MonkeyDust, yeah, lots of games :P [23:40] Juest - do you have a System menu on your top panel? [23:40] pvthodson: yes === brianl is now known as brianl|a [23:40] pvthodson: freenx is the gnu-version [23:40] MonkeyDust, alien area and all that take up a fair bit of space [23:40] whatever, i can't even start gnome-session [23:40] * MonkeyDust has no games and 6g for / [23:40] tanath, well i gave it 14 gb cause in the past i gave it 10 and needed more, but i'm only using 6 currently :P [23:40] I broke my ubuntu installation, making it unbootable, but I managed to mount the disk on a mac, is there any log of all the programs I installed with apt-get to use in a new installation? [23:40] because of hicolor-icon-theme trouble [23:41] auk, mm. future-proofing is good though. don't wanna have to adjust it again :P [23:41] the worst problem is gnome-panel [23:41] mattk, do u have an Ethernet port on the laptop? [23:41] !clone | homiziado [23:41] homiziado: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:41] Juest, I'm sorry I don't understand - you are having more problems than just a soundcard issue? [23:41] yes [23:41] homiziado: use chroot first to get into the system [23:41] two problems [23:41] can nx be installed through apt-get? [23:41] ...i suppose in the future i could stick another partition in there [23:41] (tanath) [23:41] pvthodson: yes [23:41] thx [23:41] Firefishe, what do you mean by interface trying to start and then dropping? [23:41] tanath: well i'm trying to make space for a fedora / partition to have a dual -boot [23:42] auk, for /? how would that work? you'd have to install stuff manually to alternate location [23:42] RevSpecies116: may i query you (PM)? [23:42] thanks a lot iceroot :) I will try it [23:42] auk, mm [23:42] And all you did, Juest, to cause the hi-icon issue was update from 10.10 to 11.04? [23:42] auk, you could always use virtual machine instead... [23:42] no [23:42] is there seperate client and sever packages [23:42] Hey guys, I ran into a ubuntu forum article that fixed suspend/hibernate on my Sony VPC-F11 - is there an ubuntu wiki page where I can check to see if this problem is reported? [23:42] You can PM me, Juest :) [23:42] just already have that trouble [23:42] Firefishe, it may also be a networkmanager problem. you may try wicd instead. it's got more detailed log as well (from what i heard) [23:42] (basically just had to add acpi_sleep=nonvs to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX) [23:43] pvthodson: yes [23:43] tanath, i mean since i'm only using 6 gb, and it's 14gb, i could use the remaining 8 gb as a separate partition [23:43] would like to make sure it gets picked up for future releases [23:43] for the benefit of other users [23:43] eipi-1: By watching the nm-applet icon in the systray (kde/gnome/xfce, etc.) - I'll slide it off, then back on, and watch the indicator animation start up like it's trying to connect, then drop back to the inactive icon. [23:43] auk, i'd leave yourself 2gb to spare though [23:43] eipi-1: [23:43] is remmina a good alternative? [23:43] tanath, ...ermm...actually, i'm considering switching from ubuntu to fedora for general use [23:43] eipi-1: Also, by watching the active terminal window using that tail command you gave me. [23:44] tanath: as for extra 2 gb, yes of course [23:44] auk, all the more reason to try in vm, if you're just testing... [23:44] auk, and if you like it, since you have /home on separate, you could reinstall over top of ubuntu [23:44] tanath, can trying in vm get it to use all my existing data? (app settings and histories) [23:45] could probably reinstall over ubuntu anyway, so long as you don't reformat :) [23:45] auk, actually, that should be doable... as you know you can mount a separate folder/partition as /home. and you can give vm access to outside folders... [23:45] t does it mean when you get this message ? [23:45] Firefishe, well could you install wicd network manager, reboot killswitch off and try to connect using wicd? from what i read so far it may be nm causing trouble [23:45] http://xdccing.com/ [23:46] yeah i'm a bit reluctant to install over ubuntu considering /home is encrypted, and i've never done anything more than play around with other distros === jens is now known as Guest80250 [23:46] eipi-1: what is wicd? [23:46] auk, oh, be careful with that. google a guide before doing it [23:46] (other than ubuntu) [23:46] how can I post into pastebin from shell again? [23:46] E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

It's a replacement for nm [23:48] Firefishe, just another network manager. does the same as preinstalled network manager, but you can create profiles to use with wpa_supplicant directly so we can check if preinstalled network manager is the problem or its some driver problem [23:49] eipi-1: let me install it [23:49] !list [23:49] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[23:49] this is the page that gave me the most hope for automatic resolution http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1376522 [23:49] Firefishe, right :) it should be in the repos. btw do you have the same problem connecting to encrypted and open wifi? [23:50] tanath, of course...do fedora and ubuntu even use the same backends for partition encryption by default? [23:50] xdcc list [23:50] auk, i don't know enough about partition encryption to be of much help with that [23:50] eipi-1: Relative to the switch problem, no. WPA isn't an issue. [23:51] eipi-1: I just apt-getted it. It's installed. What now? [23:51] auk, that's not really a guide, just someone hoping they can do what you want :P [23:52] Firefishe, i mean, when booting with KS off, did you try to connect to open wifi? [23:52] What's Plymouth? [23:52] tanath, yeah :) [23:52] eipi-1: Oh yes, it doesn't matter. [23:52] Firefishe, is there a way for you to get online on some other device, so you dont have to reboot everytime? [23:52] auk, might also google for people troubleshooting problems so you know what to avoid [23:53] where do i find my newly created ssh key? [23:53] eipi-1: The only other gadget I have with me is my Nokia E71. It has an IRC client--mirggi--but's it's buggy. [23:53] djmaster2437: yeah [23:54] i need help with installing ubuntu 11.04 :( have been trying for a long time [23:54] also, to whoever it was that told me a couple days ago that changing the uid from 1000 to 500 wouldn't have any consequences for well-written applications... let it be know that debian-derived gdm login screens are badly written () and that if you don't change the permissions on your home directory, you won't be able to access your files [23:54] auk, lol [23:55] auk, well that's a given... you have to take your home folder with you [23:55] i have written my problem in ubuntuforums and till now no reply [23:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1773159 [23:55] auk, and there isn't a good reason for apps to expect you to change your uid [23:55] tht is the link..can some1 read and suggest some ways to fix this [23:55] auk, but an app that changes your uid ought to handle that.. unless you did it manually ;) [23:56] Folks, quick question to clarify - where can I find out the system requirements for 11.04 Ubuntu? Is there a webpage setup for that? [23:56] tanath, i did do it manually...well, usermod -u [23:56] Firefishe, reboot, start 'tail -f ...' try 'sudo killall nm-applet' to turn off old nm. then start wicd and try to connect with that one. start wicd from console so you can see logs. if it doesn't show any, try with -d command. lets see.. [23:56] RevSpecies116, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/installation-guide/i386/hardware-req.html [23:57] RevSpecies116, few seconds on google [23:57] eipi-1: This is me on my phone, it's slow typing with my thumbs. [23:57] some help please [23:57] RevSpecies116, 'system reqs 11.04' [23:57] tanath, i bit of complication if your hd is encrypted is you can't change the permissions on your files with root privileges :/ (without going through a quite complicated process of mounting the encrypted volume without logging in form the corresponding account) [23:57] question, is there a way to reboot the livecd without requiring the user to press enter to actually do the reboot? [23:58] eipi-1: So what do you suggest at this point? wicd is installed. Is a reboot required? I also have kde set to not use it's native network manager, and have nm-applet set to boot up. I'll have to unset that. [23:58] FisheDuJour, all right ill try to ask as many yes/no questions as possible ;) [23:58] hi, I've installed lubuntu, is there a way to make it into ubuntu? [23:58] lullabud, there's a 60s timeout... [23:58] i have a long process running on a livecd and i don't want to have to come back when it's done to press enter. [23:58] tanath: oh, nice, thanks! [23:58] lullabud, or you could press reset button if you have it, or hold power [23:58] eipi-1: You can talk to my normal user here. The phone is right by me, so I can access it if necessary. [23:58] tanath: nah, i just want to do longps && shutdown -r [23:59] i tried installing ubuntu but everyime after the splash screen it hangs and shows this wierd screen http://www.stooorage.com/show/883/2984745_img0050a.jpg [23:59] gracias [23:59] Firefishe, did you read my prev message? [23:59] shomon, I think you can simply install ubuntu with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop... [23:59] Firefishe, reboot, start 'tail -f ...' try 'sudo killall nm-applet' to turn off old nm. then start wicd and try to connect with that one. start wicd from console so you can see logs. if it doesn't show any, try with -d command. lets see.. [23:59] has anyone encontered a problem with the merge lists when trying to update [23:59] thanks - I hope so
